The Suzuki B-King is a high-performance naked street bike produced by Suzuki Motor Corporation for the 2008 model year. Originally unveiled at the Tokyo Motor Show, the B-King was based off the Suzuki GSX1300 Hayabusa sportbike. As a prototype the Suzuki B-King was endowed with a supercharger and extra wide tires, however, those design elements were eliminated for the production model.This is the only bit of information about the 1300cc Japanese naked, but the bike appears to be unchanged apart from that. Sure, you all could have lived with shorter silencers, but Suzuki is keen on the rocket-launcher ones, so that’s what you’ll keep on getting.
We recall briefly the technical characteristics of bare 1300 Suzuki. The 4-cylinder engine is derived from the GSX-1300 Hayabusa and this version is credited with 183.6 hp at 9,500 rpm for peak torque amounts to 146 Nm at 7,200 rpm. Perimeter frame, with truss swingarm, adjustable suspension and the “raft” rear 200/50 are the technical and aesthetic elements that define a naked muscular is an understatement.
