40 months, 3 weeks, 2 days, 13 hours agoSuzuki showed a truly ridiculous concept bike at the Tokyo show. Powered by a supercharged Hayabusa engine and with a wealth of high tech gizmos - fingerprint starting, GPS navigation, voice controlled anti theft devices and the like - the B-King had radical styling to go with the overall concept. Obviously, this was just a concept bike and so was never going to get built, no matter how the audience clamored for it. And clamor they did. The B-King (the name comes as an abbreviation of the original Boost King from the Supercharged engine) probably created more of a stir than any other concept bike we've seen. But it really wasn't viable for production. So when Suzuki confirmed that they were going to build it we were pretty surprised at first, before becoming deeply cynical of what would come out. We've seen it before, when a radical concept bike has been released as a production machine and the only real similarity is the name and, perhaps, some faint styling cues. When it was announced that the production bike wouldn't be supercharged we all nodded sagely. See?
