B-King....hooligan bike?
« on: February 08, 2009, 02:36:24 PM »
Would you consider your B-King a hooligan bike? As in very easy to wheelie. stoppies....and just plain have fun with? Or is it a lil to heavy for that compared to 1000's?

I have one.  Its not bad but there are MANY wayyy better bikes out there.  When you are doing wheelies its a little hard to find the right "soft spot" for loong wheelies if you don't use the rear brake.

On stoppies its a little to long so on the stock front tire there is not enough grip so it doesn't want to.

If you loose the original exhaust and put a TiForce SUMO its MUCH better.

I would also replace the svingarm with a Hayabusa or a GSXR1000 if you were looking for wheelies and general hooligan fun.
I dont know what I am talking about but I do know that I am right :)

I suppose at a 60" wheelbase, it could be a lil long for wheelies compared to 1000's.
