Imagine arriving at a bikers pub with one of these!
The plumbing on the two bikes are
pieces of art.
Suzuki B-King Turbo
sounded more Beastly. Neels did say that this
one was a little more wild. This one has read
on Neels’s dyno, 280 Hp and 227 Nm of torque,
it can be tuned up to 500 Hp. This too had a T3
T4 septet waste gate and a high pressure fuel
pump to come with the added air. Again the
plumbing was neatly done. I could see by his
smile as I left the pits that this experience was
going to be different. He did warn me that the
feeling has not been mapped properly. Well
a B King in standard form is a Beast already,
a naked street bike with the 1300cc Hyabusa
motor in was always going to be special, blow
some air onto the pistons and Good Golly
Miss Molly, things come alive at around 4000
rpm. Yes it splutters a bit but once it clears its
throat, you can feel your arms stretch and your
neck muscles firm up. I did a few laps and was
blown away with the surge but in truth the Triumph
stole my heart . Talking to Neels he said
that he had not got it 100% right yet but that
he would have it sorted by the next day. I got
the phone call to come and ride it again and I
would of but I ran out of time for this month.
I’m sure that on the normal roads in a
neighbourhood these bikes will feel even
faster as a track many times hides a bikes
power, but what this experience has taught me
is that in the back of my mind since I rode a
turbo Hyabusa all those years ago, I’ve always
thought that I would like one and now I’m
more convinced. Think that’s why I like that H2
and H2R’s so much. It’s nice to have that little
extra.
