I went to my local Suzuki/Kawasaki dealership today after work. I wanted to check out the new Hayabusa and B-King in person (why does the 'Zuki/Kawi dealer ALWAYS get the new '08 models before the Honda dealer does???). Anyways, they had a B-King in stock, and man was it UGLY. I thought from all the mag articles I'd read on it that I would like it... wrong... looks like a fat piece of **** with 181HP. It looks WAY better in a magazine than it does in person.
The salesman invited me to swing a leg over, so I did. The seat is so wide that I could barely get both feet flat on the floor. The handlebars weren't that comfy either. I've been thinking about getting a naked bike to go along with my CBR, and I have decided that the B-King ain't it!

 

haha nice!

the next warm (or warm enough) day we have here in MD i plan on riding the 45mins to the nearest dealer to check out all the '08 models!

 

Don't go to Honda 'cause they don't have the '08 1krr's yet. Although the '08 600rr grafitti is worth takin'a gander at.
