Suzuki B King
First shown as a concept model at the 2001 Tokyo Motorshow, the unique B-King created excitement worldwide with its aggressive styling and 1300cc engine, pressuring Suzuki to develop a production model. Incorporating advanced technology and performance, the all-new Suzuki B-King ensures the reality is every bit as exhilarating as the original concept.
Featuring a slightly modified version of the 2008 Hayabusa's new engine, complemented by state-of-the-art chassis and suspension systems, the B-King offers incredible all around capabilities - breathtaking acceleration matched by precise, responsive handling.
It is the B-King's aggressive styling and tons of attitude that set it apart, with its imposing engine on display to the world, and twin exhaust pipes alluding to the masses of power at hand for a one of a kind sport riding experience.
Equipped with its powerful, new, 1340cc, DOHC liquid cooled, 16-valve engine, the B-King brute also features Suzuki's sophisticated SDTV fuel injection system with dual injectors per cylinder.
The B-King is fitted with the S-DMS (Suzuki Drive Mode Selector) which allows the rider to choose from two different engine settings depending on riding conditions or rider preferences.
Enhancing the powerful styling of the B-King, the large volume 4-into 2 into 1 exhaust system features a large capacity catalyser, oxygen sensors and the Suzuki Exhaust Tuning valve for optimum exhaust efficiency.
The B-King's slick shifting, six-speed transmission works in conjunction with an innovative back torque limiting clutch to deliver smooth, controlled downshifts.
Specially designed for the B-King, new KYB inverted front forks are fully adjustable for compression, rebound damping and spring preload to suit rider preferences, while the rear shock features three way adjustability with damping characteristics equivalent to those of Supersport models.
Braking performance is provided by newly designed radial mount front brake calipers work with 310mm rotors, while a lightweight, single-piston rear brake caliper with a 260mm rear disc completes the braking package.
Suzuki's ultimate muscle bike features a unique, three-piece front fender design to create an aggressive look that instantly delivers the message of the B-King's performance intentions.
The beefy 2008 Suzuki B-King (GSX1300BKK8) is now available in a choice of Metallic Grey / Silver or Black / Matt Black at an SRRP of $18,990 (inc GST) plus on road costs, and featuring a two-year, unlimited kilometre warranty.
