B-King versus VMAX

I've ridden both the B-King and VMAX, and as I've said, I wanted a B-King.
So, I bought one (if I'd have had the cash of that Remington bloke in the 1970s, I would probably have bought the company). 500 miles later, I still can't believe it sits quietly in my garage... remember that feeling?
It isn't just the cost that makes it so attractive, the B-King really is the fastest naked bike though I'm still constantly amazed at how much its looks are hated.
Compared with the VMAX, the B-King rides on more race-biased tyres and it handles superbly... this bike is easy to ride and flatters even average riders.
The VMAX is still phenomenal and the fact it even exists means we should all hanker after one in our garage.
It as easy to ride fast as the B-King, but cornering takes a little more forethought.
But remember,Yamaha wants 16 grand for one, that's twice the price... and the B-King's controversial looks mean it's still reasonably exclusive.
Buy a B-King and if you can afford a VMAX, buy two B-Kings so your mate (or missus) can keep up.
However, to see what US tester Motorcyclist thought in a direct face off between the two machines right click HERE.
The BK wins in a straight drag race over the quarter (BK:10.13 secs, VM: 10.41s and in the 60-80mph roll on in top gear BK:2.49s, VM 2.66s).
And Motorcyclist finishes off the full test with a look at the custom options for the B-King (and VMAX) including the utterly brilliant machine pictured above.
Right click HERE for the German manufacturer which manages to cram on even bigger tyres... and a strange belt to at least make it look as though it's supercharged.
Nice work.
