2008 BKing in black. Love this bike and had it since feb this year.

Been riding a little over 3 years now and this is my second bike. First bike was a baby King (GSR600)
The King has always been my dream bike since before I even had a licence. I was even a member at Bking.org before I had a licence :lol:
The forum members there advised me against the bike as a first bike and glad I took the advice or I defo wouldn't be here now :race:

When I got it
 
Bike had 4 owners previously before me
I got it on 8k miles and hated it when I got it. Bike handles really badly and couldn't figure out why?
Decided to have it set up before flogging it and hanging myself and the suspension guy said it looked really low.
A bit of digging and found that someone fitted lowering links and didn't bother setting up or altering anything else. So dropped arse. Made the bike stand up in corners REALLY badly.
Ordered standard length bones and the change was magical! rear raised 2" BACK TO STANDARD. No wonder all the previous owners flogged the bike away so quickly :(

King and Junior :) Poor Junior got sold. I miss that bike sorely. It was a great bike and awesome in the corners :)

The missus' Honda VFR400NC30 1994. Not bad for a 20 year old bike

That's about it :)
 
Welcome, I noticed that top pic,...was it on ebay once?....Have to say I am very much a Bking fan, It is originally what I wanted to get but as luck would have it I was able to get a busa, "which I should state I am happy with but feel I need to go over it and clean it and tune it and make it nicer," But Still very envious dude, Also a uk rider here! :)

Also did the same thing with the top box too :p lol
 
Former B-king owner here. Great bike! Had mine in the 9's at the Track. Have a busa now, but miss my B-King. Welcome!
