This bike is insanely fast. I have to tame it all the time. I used to ride it to work thru NYC traffic and the brakes on this thing is phenomenal! Helps me split in and out of traffic but rarely lets me test out the power. Now that I ride to work (Texas), I can really open this thing up on the expressway. Especially when I'm pulling onto the entrance ramp. I used to run it on the softest tires I could find in NYC (shorter commute) and now I run it on soft front and medium rear in Texas (same commute time but mainly highways). Run this bike on the softest tires if you really want to take advantage thru the corners.

I’ve had mine since 2010, bought it new from the dealer. The B stands for Boost, supposedly there was going to be a turbo boost mounted on the engine to give it even more power if you can believe it. You can buy the after market turbo kit for it but I can’t imagine this beast faster than it is now! I installed a V-storm windshield on mine and has made a world of difference for traveling for highway speeds. Your neck is not killing you between gas stops. I’ll be holding on to mine as long as I can. It’s a beast for sure and handles very well. If you search on KZfaq, you can find a couple of videos with a few people that have installed the aftermarket turbo, if they’re still here.

It's hands down the best motorcycle I've ever owned!!! I test rode it a few times, and I just had to buy one. It's comfortable, and makes crazy torque... and it "Feels" much smaller than it is. With good tires, I carve canyon roads better that my buddies can. (one is on a GSX1000) But like you said... it will kill you if you don't respect it. It's like a trained lion. Treat it right, and it will do everything you want. Disrespect it once... and it will kill you. But OMG... a second gear pull on a nice day, and it will get you well past 100 mph in a couple seconds, and put a grin on your face that you can't shake. BUT... since it's pre-traction control... just watch for that front end to stay on the road. Even in 4th... get on the throttle fast, and you will be hanging the front tire at 120 mph. (without clutching) GREAT BIKE !!!!

I own one and love it. Nothing like it. Been riding all my life and had many different bikes from mini bikes to Ducati’s. This thing is a beast and that’s putting it mildly. I had a guy on a CBR 1000 at the light wanting to race and he didn’t know what had happened when the light turned green! A lot of people don’t realize what the heck it is or the power it has, they just want to race. I’ve never been beaten yet by any bike or sports car. Don’t get this unless you have a good grip and know how to stop. This is my need for speed bike. I have a grandpa bike (95 Honda GW, haha) and an BMW R1200RT for travels and great fuel mileage. I am however thinking of maybe selling her one day. I really should be driving the grandpa bike.

I bought one new in 07, liked it so much I bought a second one used. The second one I played the custom game and changed the exhaust and put on some metallic red almost maroon paint on some panels. Looked good. Subtle. The stock one the dealer had lowered it for me since I stand just 5-7 stretched, and lowering it made it perfect. This review says it is big and wide. I never had that impression when I rode it. Had it all the way to the governed 158 and it was in 4th. Will do it in 5th, and from a review I read speed drops off in 6th because of the way the governor is configured. I traded them both for a Slingshot. The 2015 Sling was nice, and I drove it everywhere, but I wish I had kept one of those B Kings. My boys did not so much care for them because they said it was no fun (?) to ride a bike that you KNOW can outrun everyone without effort. They liked bikes that are slower, like a Triumph Twin that you have to work with to keep up or beat other guys. I can relate to that, but it's still nice to be King, on a B King.

Actually, yes. If a really nice one that's still near factory stock, at the right price, yes. Even though I'm 85. I do have a Victory Octane at the moment and it's pretty quick. @@sv_cheats1970Oh by the way. I still have a magazine here that did a thorough test on the B King and it did 0-60 in 2.9, and the quarter at 9.9 at 139 plus. They thought it might be quicker in the 1/4 than the Busa because slightly lighter but they didn't make a comparo. Also, the wide tank is not a tank. That's the air intake. The gas tank is lower down which makes the bike easier to handle.
