That's a Europe or Oz color.
I think the B-King was sold there until 2014 or 2015??
The U.S. got black or silver in '08 only.
With a hodgepodge mix of colors, the black or the silver bikes came with black or chrome clutch covers, and black or aluminum finished swingarms and front calipers.

Toad, have you ever sat on or rode a B-king?
They feel like they are built for a much bigger pilot than would fit on the Busa.
Taller seat, much more leg room, and of course the dirtbike bars make for alot of easy bar swaps for other bends.
Fun to ride stock, but an absoloute blast after basic mods.
I know you're a really big man, so I'm curious how you do/or would like riding one.
And...everybody here wants to see you build one!
I've never seen a B-king built to the likes of your bikes!

I have sat on one not ridden tho , that is why I do like the idea of owning one for a project , I liked the ride position etc. . The concept of naked Busa , with the exceptional 1340cc power plant has always drawn me , just the styling out of the box is so freaking wide and ugly . I see what the lads have done with theirs , and individualizing is the way to go for sure , @chidago certainly is well done . That color scheme post #41 I have seen here in Oz .

Suzuki did a wise thing with the Gen 3 style, much like Harley. Kept the baby, tossed the bathwater. Evolution, not revolution.

How about this version?View attachment 1645169

that’s what it should look like. exhaust under bike!!!! clean sleek

 

[Spudley]

That would've been very cool. Scrap the outside exhaust and tuck it up underneath.

Someone should make a kit !.

The KTM street superbike from a few years back has that type of exhaust, and I have seen plenty of complaints about the heat.

I was thinking that myself...

The way the gen 3 sits now, it has many different exhausts to choose from in the aftermarket...if Suzuki would have went with an exhaust such as this, the aftermarket would be pretty limited.

Yep, we'd be paying for aftermarket passenger pegs to hang mufflers on.

They'd probably be separate like the rear hump...
