Yup, i would be all over a VFR if i could only have one bike. I would also be all over it if i could have as many as i wanted

As long as your happy with it then i don't see any room to complain. Is the B-King going to be your last bike?Posted: Thu Feb 26, 2009 4:48 pm
Who knows? I was going to keep the Kawasaki until it fell apart. Then I got that itch to get something different.Theweapon52 wrote:RhadamYgg wrote:Definitely the bike I wanted.

One of the guys at work who is out to get a bike was looking at the B-King - he was having problems defining what it is... Even called it a cruiser.
That's actually the way I like it. I'll like it more once I've got more miles on the bike than dollars it cost to purchase it (total cost).
That'll be about two years or less if I do miles at the rate I was with the Kawasaki.

Im not trying to embarrass you or anything. Just wondering. Or do you think you need more time to get used to it?

I did well today. I probably just need more experience, which I'll get plenty of commuting with it. Every commute day I put 84 miles on the bike.fireguzzi wrote:Honestly, is too much bike for you?RhadamYgg wrote:Definitely the bike I wanted.

But whether I'll be great at slow-speed maneuvers with it, figure 8's and stuff, that might be questionable.
We'll see how it goes. Regardless, there is no changing of minds that can happen now.
Not and still have any "O Ring" left from my wife chewing it out.

Well no doubt it takes time to get used to a bike like the b-king, is it not the 2008 hayabusa engine de-tuned? If it is your last bike, i would say it's a pretty sweet last bike.

The engine is the 2008 Hayabusa engine, but it isn't really detuned. It has a lot more restricted airflow and has about 10 or so hp less than the Hayabusa.Theweapon52 wrote:RhadamYgg wrote:Who knows?

It is a great bike. I had fun riding in to work on Thursday. It certainly feels great in turns. I'm leaning and taking (some) of them much better than I did in the Kawasaki Ninja 250.
I might even get a chance to ride with some friends next week.

I would still pick the one I now have...
after 3 goldwings, this thing is small, light, narrow, fast. good looking and Silver.
