Help identify this bike please

I downloaded this picture as a wallpaper and it came with no title or information. Can anyone identify this bike? Thanks.

My first thought is a customized Suzuki B-King.

You are right. I googled Suzuki B-King after I saw your post and that photo showed up on the results with the caption "Suzuki B-King concept bike shown at Tokyo Motor Show 2001." Thanks.

Not customised at all, stock standard, can still see the STUPIDLY large exhaust pipes

I have to brag, a mate of mine has one, and i rode one for a while the other day.

ZOMFG

Um, you don't ride that bike, you work at not letting it kill you. It's a freakin MONSTER ... just too big in every way, and that throttle!!!! He's got aftermarket pipes on too, the animal growl is hair raising ...

I would never want to own one, too big, too loud, too fast ... but MAN what beautiful machine

On a bike like that I'd be buying rear tires by the pallet full and changing them with every other fill up. That temptation to just rip the throttle back and light up the rear tire would be to much for me to handle. Hell I did it on my vstrom every time it was wet out side so if I had the power to do it in the dry, it would be game over...

i opened this thread and saw that photo and thought (i can really tell you what i thought it would be too erotic) that bike is great looking and i would love to own it. But then you have to point out the exhaust omg a bike that tough then those?????

yepper, its a B-King, I worked on my friends, replaced the exhaust(akrapovic (SP?), put on some farkles, etc. Sounded really, really sweet with the pipes..

The above picture is missing some parts, tag holder, mirrors, etc.

And +1 on it being an absolute beast!!! I got the honors of breaking it in as the owner was going out of town and he asked to put as many miles on it as possible...

Riding 30+ years, you CANNOT NAIL THE THROTTLE in first gear, even doing it slowly, as the G force, will literally pull your hands off the grips, unbelievable... Second gear is do-able. Two up, I was passing a car at about 55 MPH and the front end started coming up!!!

The seat is hard as a board, kind of tight fitting(bar to peg to seat #'s), but a great stop light to stop light ride!! You looked forward to being first in line at a red light.. :thumbup:

Almost bought one but, knew, I would either loose my license or my life..

Yeah, the first time I saw one at a dealer it was from the front and I walked around the back of it and I started laughing! Other wise it's not a bad looking machine. Too heavy and slow in the turns for me.
