That white turbo one was in the latest (in Australia) Streetfighters magazine.

You should see it from other angles, it looks awesome.

If anyone likes the look of the b-king I urge them to pick up an issue...they have some staggeringly amazing bikes, regular.

Yeah. Its owned by a guy called Schaefer from England.
He had a Naked Turbo Busa when I lived there.
He's another SuzukiB-King.org member

Damn that's hot. Usually not a fan of extended swingarms but it works so well here

I've never ridden a tyre over 200, I can't imagine how sluggish and heavy that 360 would be!!

How much cash do reckon he threw at it? Excluding the 7000 quid for the bike

Yeah, its an interesting project, and well built, but I have no interest in ever
owning something like that. I've just gone down a size on my rear tyre.
From a 200/50 to a 190/55, popular swap.

More on Schaefer's here.......

Better legroom to my opinion, but it could be just because of the handlebars are so different
The Bikes are not the same at handling and engine
The old Busa gets beating from both bikes
but the new Busa is best in unrestricted German highways
Since B-King has no fairing you really feel the wind
Also it seems to accelerate very quickly on 1st and 2nd but then...
well, you better test ride it yourself

I put 250 miles/5 hours in on mine on Saturday, and wanted to get off of it more than anything in the world. I don't know how everybody can do 500+ mile days on a Busa and call it comfortable!

I'm 5'10" and can ride the Busa all day long. Here's what I did last September 5. The first pic is the time I left on a Sunday morning and the beginning mileage. The second pic is the time I got home on Monday morning.
