Test rode a B-King

nhgunnut · 07-11-2009, 02:16 PM

OK so I went back and rode the B-King again today. I had it out for about 1 1/4 hours over a pretty wde mix of of surface and condtions. Long and short it wow! What a great ride! I know that this thing is ugly as a mud fence but dam it fits me well and has in credible power plant (Stock Numbers 162 RWHP and 100 Ft Lbs of torque) Since the one I was riding had the Two Borthers Carbon Cans and tailight it was less hidous than the stock one. So after talking numbers and making a deposit I will be trading the 999 on wed.

SO here is My new ugly brute ( but you only getr to look at the tail light so bite me)

Na, I get ya. Duc's are track orientated, and you don't seem to be on the track 24/7.
BKing is a more utilitarian ride, and I feel that entirely!

Some of us should be able to keep up.

nice bike, I only hate the mufflers, so yours looks damn fine!

That looks pretty damn good from that angle.

Hey as someone who rides something most people don't like, I say go for it! You have to be happy with your bike and no one else. Besides, I'm sorry but they don't get much uglier than a 999 IMHO...

I had the same problem in '99 when I wanted to get rid of my '97 YZF1000. I wanted a "Hypersport" but hated the looks of the "Busa" and didn't want a Honda, especially with linked brakes. So I put money on the ZX12. Well, after a year of delays and problems, I finally broke down and bought that fugly 'Busa. Looks aside, it was possibly the best "streetbike" I've ever owned.

People always say the 999 is ugly and that the 1098 is magically the world's best looking bike

There are so many 1098's running around, they've become boring to me. I would actually rather have a 999 so I could be different.

I always liked the 999.

But then again, I think the busa and B-King look good too.
