Up for sale is one of the greatest, if not underrated super/muscle bikes ever produced —- my beloved one-year only (2008), 181hp, king-of-the-streets, Suzuki B-King!
This “King” (in the most desirable menacing black/matte black paint scheme) has been garage kept and carefully enjoyed under my ownership. The years have just flown by (literally) and it’s time to thin the herd a bit.
This is the “civilized” alternative to Suzuki’s Hayabusa — comfortable yet an absolute beast. It’s your turn to own a legend. With just 7600 miles ridden over the last 17 years, this bike is just now getting into its prime.
Recently serviced and unquestionably ready to ride, this B-King starts, runs, and rides exactly as it should (and like a typical Suzuki—fast, fun, and consistent). It’s never been down, always stays on a tender, and is incredibly clean. The Yoshimura exhaust sends out the perfect note! ZERO disappointments for the new owner,
Ready to ride. $8500.00 firm. No test rides but I’d be happy to ride it around the block for you. Passenger pillion and original handlebar included. Clean title.

Last December Tad dropped his thoughts on the B-King, “Are your arms still attached to your body? Would you like to solve that particular problem? Have you always thought that the best way to improve a nearly 200mph hyperbike would be to pull the fairing off and add higher handlebars? Well Suzuki was way ahead of you, back in 2007 when they introduced their GSX1300BK B-King, the road-going version of a concept bike that was shown off way back in 2000 and powered by a supercharged Hayabusa engine.”
And the seller shares the CycleWorld review from 2017, “Time was standard-style bikes were regarded as motorcycling’s plain-vanilla machines. Sensible, low-glamour, general-purpose alternatives to sportbikes and cruisers. But the standard category has undergone a renaissance in recent years, branching into sub-categories populated with supermotos and adventure bikes and retros and streetfighters.
Then there’s the B-King.
One of our all-time favorite large-displacement sporting platforms, the mighty Suzuki Hayabusa, provided the foundation upon which the B-King was built. While the B-King faithfully delivers ‘Busa-like brutish power, it’s endowed with a relaxed, upright riding position and resultant ease of handling. A day spent hunkered down reaching for the ‘Busa’s clip-on bars can take its toll on your back, while covering the same distance seated on the King’s throne is relative royal treatment.”
Good luck to the buyer and seller!
I long admired the B-King. It’s rare, powerful and great looking. However, I have a deposit riding on a Hornet SP with a sub $12k price tag (plus assy, tax & license)…
