That's a lot of buckaroos for a Transformer with a Busa engine stuck in it.

THE B-KING IS PRICED $900.00 ABOVE THE HAYABUSA.....WOW.....

Probably priced so high to fund the upcoming legal battle between Burger Kind for name infringement

It's different, and I kind of like it, but that exhaust has got to go.

THAT MADE ME LAUGH OUT LOUD.....GOOD POINT.....

The name B-King stemmed from the prototype which was Boost-King. It had a tubocharged Busa powerplant putting out some ungoddly amount of power, something like over 500HP.

There is no way they would put that thing into production with those stats. The prototype looked a lot better.

Actually, the 2001 Tokyo Motor Show concept bike was called B-King, too. It was speculated the "B" meant boost, since it was a belt-driven supercharged Hayabusa motor. Horsepower was estimated to be about 240-250. Still pretty ungodly, but only about half of your 500.
