Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a big-power, heavyweight naked bike best suited to experienced riders who are comfortable managing strong acceleration and substantial mass at low speed.
PurposeBuilt as a muscular streetfighter, it excels at aggressive straight-line performance and standout street presence rather than any single specialized discipline.
Rider FitAt over 250kg wet with a wide 200-section rear tyre, it demands a physically confident rider, especially in slow maneuvers, U-turns, and parking.
CharacterThe B-King has a brawny, unapologetic personality, pairing hyperbike-derived power with an oversized, muscular naked-bike design that draws attention wherever it goes.
Not Ideal ForIt is not a good fit for new riders, those wanting light flickable handling, or anyone seeking a wind-protected, long-distance touring companion.

2009 Suzuki B-King Rider Ergonomics Assessment

Calculated in your browser only - your height/inseam are never sent to our servers.

Feet:

At 805mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2009 Suzuki B-King, with a relaxed knee angle of around 125 degrees and a forward-leaning riding position.

Data quality: measured. Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated (a typical street-bike rule of thumb - stiffer or softer suspension will vary). This is an approximation from category-typical geometry and generic body proportions, not a measurement of this specific bike or you - sit on it before you buy.
