From concept bike to reality...The Suzuki B-King.

Unveiled at the Tokyo Motor Show in 2001, the B-KING concept machine was highly acclaimed from the moment the covers were lifted.Unveiled at the Tokyo Motor Show in 2001, the B-KING concept machine was highly acclaimed from the moment the covers were lifted.

With such outlandish styling and brutal power, the B-KING's transition from concept to reality has not been an easy one, but uncharacteristically for a concept machine, it has stayed remarkably true to its original form.

Looks like nothing else, rides like nothing else. Our testers took it to the German autobahns to fine tune the engine and winding roads of Southern France to fine tune the handling. But you don't need to speak a foreign language to know what this means: Raw power and performance. Beauty meets beast.
