I have a question about the B King... Why would they make the B King with a detuned 08 Busa motor? The B King only makes 160 hp..... I think its a cool bike and I talked of getting one.. (Im keeping my 2000 Busa) Any ideas on this as to why they did that?
My best guess is if they stuck in the same motor as the '08 and with the weight difference (Busa being heavier), it would ultimately be the faster bike of the two. That would seeming hurt Busa sales and probably shift the mindset of some Busa owners over to the ZX14. I would bet that a fairly large percentage of people buy the Busa not for the looks alone, but also the prestige of having the fastest bike.
