B-king HP Numbers

[bigoltool]

Just saw this on MCN. 181.5hp (crank most likely). Woo Hoo so much for that "tuned for Midrange" stuff.

To put that into perspective our Gen 1 Hayabusa's were reported to make around 175hp (give or take a few) at the crank! That thing ought to be damn impressive!

But they still LEFT off the Supercharger it had in the beginning  

Now, a B-King at 195 + HP and a Supercharger  

  ! WooW , that would be some kind of bike

impressive #'s for a naked

 

[rocktober]

why would they do that and eclipse the busa in power. For marketing reasons they would never do that. The busa already has such a huge following and aftermarket parts market that doing that would probably dent sales in a big way.



I agree though.... that would be badass!!!

I really like the looks of the b-king, but its subjective, had friends that want to puke at the sight of it.

Sounds like a new Ghostrider video in the making!

Not really the same bike, infact I would probably (90% probably) buy one. A B-King with a supercharger would be a Cruising Stand on your HEAD KING ! Busa would still be my riding/touring KING  

Hummmmmmmmmm

, maybe I'am not getting TOO mature for this stuff

 

[Sloto200]

I thought the b-king has a "detuned" version of the new busa engine in it... so if its rated at 181... then i guess the numbers of the new busa should be a bit higher then...

I wonder if Suz has waited too long to bring this concept bike to the public...  naked bikes seemed to have passed their popularity. I was kinda interested in the BKing a few years ago but the one I saw at Laguna didnt do much for me.

Would anyone here buy this bike?

In the 08' Busa release article in MC they stated that the B-King will NOT be a de-tuned version, but the same Busa engine.

But it has different (smaller) Throttle bodies and exhaust system to the Busa. Interestingly enough Suzuki says it has a power valve (Suzuki Exhaust Tuning (SET) valve) in the exhaust!

Not without the SuperCharger

Thats with ram air effect included.....the ZX-14 is 197 with ram air. Thats just another way to get bigger numbers for sales

 

[boosted]

busa also has different more aggresive cams.

Yep the newer bikes seem like they're starting to get a little freaky looking
