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