Suzuki B-King

[armynick]

Why O Why have Suzuki changed the headlamp and handlebars on the B-King?

The concept bike was perfect but the production ones have changed the look of the bike and in my opinion have ruined it.

'll be looking to Lazareth in France to help out when I buy one.

Presumably because they want the bike to pass homologation requirements and to not cost £100,000 each...

You're worried about the bars and light????


Have you seen the exhaust?

[armynick]

I know what you mean about the exhaust but that's usually easier to remedy.

I just think the concept headlamps and bars make the bike have a modern agressive, robocop type sleekish look. Yet the production ones don't seem to go with the bike, it makes it look like one of those "RAT" creations from the 80s. -A bit of a doggish lump.

It's amazing how small changes can change the looks so much but at the end of the day I guess it's down to personal taste.

But if you change the zorst for a normal sized one there will be a gap you could crawl into above the wheel. I'll have to wait till I actually see one before deciding on the looks, the seem to photograph badly and always look totally different.

Quite like the Z1400 though.
