Production Suzuki B-King to be 1500cc and naturally aspirated

April 14, 2005 The Suzuki B-King concept bike that wowwed showgoers around the world in 2001 and 2002 will go into production according to a report in one of the world’s leading motorcycle magazines. Originally shown as a turbocharged, 250bhp 1300cc machine, the production version is expected to be shown to the public for the first time at the “Salon International de la Moto” motorcycle show in Paris later this year. The production version is expected to have a naturally-aspirated 1500cc motor with almost identical styling to the 2001 showstopper, though the heads-up display helmet, telematics, fingerprint recognition, remote diagnostics and other advanced concepts of the show bike will be dropped to ensure the bike is priced competitively. Styled in the likeness of a Pit Bull, the B-King production model will retain very strong similarities in the frame, brakes and suspension to that of a MotoGP racer...
