....and I'm freezin' my butt off.

They rode it over in a pickup truck with a little gated extension on it.

Ice and cold prevent a test ride today... At least because there is a warm weather day tomorrow...

At home in the cramped garage - good thing I mostly cleaned it this week.

The bikes are actually very close to each other. I was debating keeping both bikes, but I'm sure that in the long term there just won't be enough space in the garage.

Checked the manual for the B-King - odd the 6 gears and their recommended transition speeds match the Ninja 250....

Ahhh - limited to 5000 rpm for the first 500 miles.

Will have more pics and maybe a video or two tomorrow.

Hello,

Your little ninja is going to feel like a pedal bike after you ride that B King.

Congrats and hold on tight (but not too tight)!

Congrats!

Refresh my memory but... it's a new leftover model?

There are no miles on the clock and the tires (Bridgestone BT-015 from the looks of it) still have the color stripes on them. Fresh from the manufacturer!

BTW, the suggested shift points in the owner's manual are just manufacturer boilerplate for fuel economy and low noise emissions. They are pretty much useless.

Wow, that's the closest thing I've seen to Batcycle.
I love the tach and the tail, just a great looking bike overall.
I'm wishing you an early spring. Congrats.
