I know that I haven't posted too much on here, but I have read and learned a lot! They have some great deals on leftover B-Kings, found one for a decent price and pulled the trigger. I had just installed the Delkevic DS70 on the 650, which helped with trade in value a bit, but I think I would have rather returned it to stock first. Oh well, you live and learn. I am at 130 miles on the "King" so far, and it is pretty crazy. It just sounds so potent when you are riding, and I haven't gone past 5K rpm for break in yet! Mods look to be more plentiful than the GSX, but also more expensive. I don't think I will want to add more power mods anytime soon. I have a 158 hp Scion Xb as my dd, and now my bike has 181 hp, so it's kinda weird. Only drawback is no windshield/fairing for bugs/cold and premium fuel, but it is still $14 for a tank of gas from the last fuel bar flashing with a 4.9 gal tank. Little bit of negative equity on the GSX but the 1.99% interest rate $1000 cash back helped too. I also think the stock seat is more comfortable, but it is extremely wide. It was a good time on the F, but I just couldn't pass up this much bike, expecially since they aren't having anymore in the US anytime soon. Oh, and now I will have to do the regulator/rectifier recall.....again.

You are the second forum member to upgrade to a B-King, and by all accounts you are going to be very happy with it.
