Suzuki Boost King Concept - 2001 Tokyo Motor Show



There are now reports that Suzuki is nearly ready to introduce a production version of the Boost King... without the boost. Likely to feature a normally aspirated 1300cc Hayabusa motor, rather than the turbo engine used in the concept, it will still pack plenty of punch for naked-bike enthusiasts. If it shows up as a 2006 model from Suzuki, expect an announcement in the September time-frame.

It will be a naturaly aspirated 1500cc engine and they will be calling it the B-King

MCN Australia reports that it looks like Suzuki is jumping with heavy guns into the naked motorcycle battle. After the BMW K1200R, the Benelli TNT and Yamaha's MT-01, Suzuki is looking at launching their B-King motorcycle this year.

Originally, the prototype had a 1300 cc, turbo charged 250 hp machine. Now, it's a 1500 cc with a normal engine and a reputed 175 bhp. Not too shabby.

But gone are also all the prototype special features, such as Heads Up Display (HUD) built-in to the special helmet, fingerprint technology, remote diagnostics, etc. Still, a killer motorcycle.

It would appear that the motorcycle will be launched at the Paris motorcycle show this September. (from blogs.motorbiker.org)

that thing looks like it would be fun to work on....

They better get to building them soon, how else am I going to find a good used one in 5 years?

I am in love.

MCN is also talking about a version with a 600 GSXR engine. I hope its true.

And i'd just about decided to save up for the MT-01!!

damn, that is one NICE looking machine!

Man the 2006 bikes are looking sick!
