B-King is alive and kickin

[Taylor]

Look for the up-comming March issue of MotorCyclist magazine, front page is B-King vs 09 V-max.

from what I have seen and read from other forums the B-King is still the winner of the nakeds/standards

B-King: 1/4 mile 10.13 @ 139.31
VMax : 1/4 mile 10.41 @ 137.40



B-King: 161.5 bhp @ 9500 rpm 97.9 lb-ft @ 7000 rpm
VMax : 169.6 bhp @ 8750 rpm 109.7 lb-ft @6500 rpm



Sorry no pics yet

Them numbers are fantastic.....the down side is:

The BKing is the King of the Discontinued Bikes.....kinda like a One hit Wonder.

VMax has been around for many many years.....

No doubt.....one badAZS bike! Have you ever seen it with the Yoshi exhaust?

 

[Taylor]

Yes Sir, I also am a member of a B-King specific forum and have pretty much seen all the exhaust and parts that are out for this bike, I cant imagine they will make anymore goodies with the 1 year only stateside bike, so I always check the UK sites and stores for recent items. SInce they get 09's

I am one of the people that like the stockers, I think they give it my transformer look I like so much.


pssss, I am a big Transformers Fan (aka Nerd)

I heard a rumor that the King is in Transformers 2, that would pretty much make my day

Concur with you, Taylor. The stock exhuast is part of the personality, and I LIKE that a lot of people find it offensive.
Swap it out for better performance? At a quarter mile in the low 10s as is, I don't need to know what its like to be shot out of a cannon!

What is the Yoshimura tag buying you ? Back in the Honda 750 days it meant a whole lot of ponies, etc.

Glad the B-King is alive and kicking azz

*** B-KING* YOSHIMURA EDITION **(( EUROPE ))**

 

[dadofthree]

So what do you get besides a different exhaust system? Back in the '70's Yosh worked the heads, cams, and exhaust for a huge increase in performance on those inline 4 Hondas.

 

[BusaWizard]

Knew there was a demand in Europe for it.
