[Red01]

How much are the B King with 1299cc Busa eng going 4 over there?

According to the Suzuki UK site, the B-King is not yet available. IIRC, it's supposed to out in August.

They sold some 06's here over B week 4 $9200.00

The '07 Busa has a list price of £8,649 (US$16,963.65 ) in the UK and lists for only US$11,149 here in the US, so you can see bikes are a lot cheaper in the States.
(And the gas to run 'em on, too.)

Hey Paul your not wrong there bike or car, here in the UK you pay top price for them and again the fuel to run 'em is pricey too.
we just had the budget here and the goverment has just increased fuel duty again by 2p but this wont be until october....how kind of them
No news here for the launch of the B-king or the price. I recon it will be in the region of £8000+
Unfortunatly even though i want a Busa the finances say no

  Yup, I'm home! Got back Dec. 23rd.
I enjoyed my time in Europe, I'm glad I went and I got a chance to see a lot of cool places (unfortunately, without a bike), but it's nice to be home.

Age has nothing to do with, ride what you like. I will be 60 my next birthday, and untill th Bandit, I had GSXRs and a RF 900.

I resemble that remark! Will be cranking over the big 7-oh in early May. Started working out again 3-4 days a week in 2000, age 63. Believe me, it made all the difference in riding enjoyment, and people often ask how old I am (think Slim Pickens riding the bomb in "Dr. Strangelove").

I'm with you on the 'Busa - the Bandit seems to be getting slower every year and I was thinking of putting a turbo on it. Too much power is just enough.

Took the new Hayabusa out Sunday for a 250 mile run. At the end she was up to  500 miles, cranked it up to 8000 rpm, it is little quicker than the old Bandit. The more I ride her the more I like her.

Oh, YEAH! You won't be needing a turbo for quite a while with the 'Busa, but you may want to lower it and add an extended swingarm ("think drag-racer"). Both the Bandit and the 'Busa are wheelie-prone.    Hope you get more smiles to the mile!
