Suzuki B-King 1300cc Sept '07 (57)

Review
How lucky am I? No socks, pants or hankies for me this year. My fantastic Fiancee bought me a B-King!!! Even managed to keep the whole thing a surprise until Christmas Morning as well!!! Anyhow, getting down to business. The first thing that strikes anyone about the 'King is the size and styling. It's a real marmite bike, you either love it or hate it. The only thing I'm not sure about is the stock cans, just look too big and way too quiet for the look of the bike. The size is immense, it's like sitting on a horse, but the weight is carried very low down, so it doesn't feel like 240kg when it's off the stand.

Turn the key and the digital dash does a funky little dance and displays 'B-King' across the screen. A prod of the button and the engine bursts into life. I hadn't heard one running until I started mine up and, to be honest, it's a bit of a disappointment. The bike looks awesome (in my opinion) and the cans are just too quiet. Imagine Brian Blessed with the voice of Joe Pasquale.

Get it moving and it's amazing, so much power and torque at any revs in any gear. The weight disappears as soon as it's on the move and it hustles like a sports bike. Handling is fantastic, plenty of feel and the shove from the 1340cc motor is grin inducing.

Minor niggles - the throttle cables totally obscure the GPI (Gear Position Indicator) don't use it anyway, but if it's there I'd like to be able to see it. The mirror arms are about half an inch too short, so you can get a great view of your arms, but not what's behind you. If I were any taller (6'1") then riding it would be a real problem due to the bolt on bits on the side of tank. As it is, my knees fit snugly under them on each side, any taller/longer legged and I'd have real problems changing gear without moving my entire leg. Lastly, tank range is very average, even ridden conservatively there's barely 100 miles worth of juice.

Everything else is absolutely spot on, brakes are fabulous front and rear, plenty of power and feel, seat is comfy and riding position is great. Plenty of toys to keep you occupied with various functions and read-outs available on the digital dash. The dual power switch is useful, you can definitely feel a softer power curve in 'B' mode for a bit of added confidence in the wet, or you can just do what riders have been doing since the dawn of Motorcycling, adjust your riding to suit the conditions!

As far as I'm concerned, the 'King easily lives up to the hype.
