B-King's little brother?

[jphilipson]

Saw this on another forum - seems to have a lot of B-King style in a smaller package. Would make a nice little around town bike

That is scary. Suzuki's only real new bike is a 250?!?!??!?!!

I am wondering if I get a Busa motor in there

 

[Malicious]

but wasnt the b-king blammed due to poor sales which was largely due to its... uh... "unique" styling

My thoughts exactly!

Only in America, sold descent in Europe, so they actually get B-Kings.

The original Busa had "unique" styling that might've cost them sales, except that the total package was killer on performance.

This new bike has "unique" styling, but not much in the way of performance. Seems like it will be a total loser to me.

The Gladius had unique styling too, but not as "unique" as this, and it was a loser, aside from the fact that it was essentially an SV650, which is a great performer. So why does Suzuki think something as ugly this "Inazuma" could be a winner. My only guess is that this styling appeals to the Japanese. Maybe it's already been a big winner in Japan.

By the way, I actually liked the Gladius and thought it was a pretty good bike.

I'm stationed in Japan, and haven't seen one yet. I'm sure when they get here, they'll be all over the place. 250's and 400's are the most sought-after bikes here, because of their agility in the mountains. They are more like Gazelles going through, whereas the Busa is like a graceful Moose.... JK!

Is Suzuki going to go the same route as Honda.. Pulled all the race teams and now making green friendlier stuff?
