The King is like the Bandit x 2, it can be a docile pussy cat or a raging bull, its all up to your right hand.

Enjoy.

welcome stonecoldsd !
and all the best for the B-King new year

Hi all had computer troubles over the last few weeks so havn't been able to comment on my new bike,WOW you really do need to ride one to appreciate it,it is soooo much better in every way compared to the bandit,the rush high up in the rev range is unbeleivable.The only improvement i can think of is a quickshifter( you want to keep both hands firmly gripped around the bars when acellerating hard).I can not recommend king ownership enough.

lol, there good aint they , I done the same gone from a bandit to the king

I knew it would be quicker but its unreal how different it is,you can even just ride it in top like a giant twist and go,which bandit did you have?

We should meet up, I have been in Alton for the last 8 months and use the Alton Road quite often.

Had a lovely run to Salisbury yesterday and a bit dodgy run home in the dark (motorways are VERY dark at night!!)

I had a 1250 Bandit. Then went to a Honda CB1300SA and now to a B-King. I think the Bandit is underrated, but the B-King is something else. I am still learning how to exploit the power without throwing it down the road. Being a little cautious,but stretching the envelope sure makes you feel alive (for now).
