I'm agreeing with you that its a good start. the response was to those that said it wasnt any better than a bandit,,,
I know it is a good time for a stock bike,
I said it wasn't as good a time as My Bandit, 9.78 at 139 mph.
I've seen stock Busas and ZX12s run about those same times. He needs to lower and strap the front end down to get a good start :beers:
I run 9s with 155 RWHP, the B King, with about the same RWHP, will run 9s, if it is set up right.
If I didn't have a Suzuki, I would have a Kawasaki

If I'm gonna' spend my hard earned money on ANY vehicle it can't JUST be Fast or Handle good ect.....I have to think it looks good too and feel good when I look at it, I personally think the B-King is BUTT UGLY!!

Life is WAY too short to own an UGLY vehicle, car or bike!

Beauty (ugly), is in the eye of the beholder.
Different strokes for different folks.
I always thought that the Busa was not a good looking bike, but if you want to go fast in the quarter mile, it's the one to have. :motorsmile:

Beauty?? C'mon man I KNOW you don't like riding with the dining room table in your lap!   :lol:

I'd take a ZX14 over the Busa for the looks.

I stopped at the dealer to look at the BKing, first off, I can't even sit on it with my feet on the pegs, my knees hit the phoney looking plastic sticking out from the tank. You are right, I would not have one of those :bomb:
