This page is a comparison between the original
Suzuki B-King GSX1300BK versus the 2nd generation Suzuki Hayabusa specifications
and performance! The Suzuki B-King could be called a naked version of the
2nd generation Hayabusa but it is more than that. Originally a concept
motorcycle at various motorcycle shows since 2001 it was finally revealed as a
production model for 2008 at the 2007 Tokyo Motorshow. (I was there!)
The B-King is NOT just an un-faired or naked
version of the Hayabusa. It has a new frame, swingarm and key geometry
changes but shares the engine some suspension components, brake parts and other
bits and pieces.
As far as performance between the B-King and
Hayabusa its probably exactly the same until the air resistance prevents you
from physically going any faster when on the B-King. The engine has been
de-tuned slightly and has selectable engine mapping to decrease performance even
further. Personally I don't understand why the original de-tuning was
necessary since it already has S-DMS modes! Nonetheless if you want a pre-made
Hayabusa engined naked bike (and a very nice one at that) this is the one to
get. It is probably the fastest version out there so do get it purely for that
reason and you'll be happy!
As for style and looks I do not think is is
anything special (feel free to disagree) it is too conservative for that! I say
this because the naked bikes, specifically from the Italian marques come out of
the factory looking like custom bikes already. Just visit the MV Augusta
and Ducati website for examples. While they look good though they are
missing the HUGE power of a Hayabusa engine. That said the B-King is clearly a
modders dream since so much more can be done to lift its looks.
There aren't many competitors in the brute power
naked class, the only one I can think of is the new but limited edition Yamaha
V-Max. Regardless of which one you choose you will be happy.
Note: Specifications are from the Tokyo Motorshow
information and Hayabusa manual. I haven't ridden a B-King at the time of
writing this comparison.

pages for mores details.
