2007 Tokyo Motor Show


Tokyo MotorShow 2007



I have been there to attend Tokyo MotorShow last three times or so.
This year I don't think I will visit there...

B-King seems to be on the stage and we don't touch and ride it, I hear.

By the way,,,

From this angle*, it must look most cool though.

I don't know what to express, but it has something weird appearance,
rear fender seems to be attached at later designed.

Fucks for luggages would be much important practically than
such dummy silencers like these.
I wonder if I cannot carry any luggages on. What to do?

*Muffler appears out a little bit similar with Yamaha MT01.

Summary of B-King articles

B-KING for GSX1300BK(K8) 2007 model

Here's a summary of information about impressions, movies and specs.
They almost seem to come from UK.
So there're few information written in Japanese.

Except for "Bikers-Station" (2007/10), there are some blogs about test ride impression at shop tour.
Motomap web site has not been updated since last July.
