Nope. This is or was...

Love the Z1K. I really dug the previous version, too. For some reason, I've always had a strange attachment to these too:

No... It doesn't look completely terrible in person... The Z, however... fucking terrible.

I think I dislike the B-King so much, because the concept was out of this world. Then they took awat everything cool about it. And made it uglier...

I'd much prefer a z1000. At least you buy it knowing it's meant to be flashy. The b-king looks like they had too many ideas to put on one motorcycle.

The b-king is a good rig if you restyle a couple things.

I prefer the Z1k on almost every level... I agree about the B-King... my biggest beef though is just the physical size of that machine... It's wider than my sofa.

Yeah... naked Buells and Ducs are on my short list. But give me one with soul and style versus overkill HP, for these bikes are more fun below 100mph, not above.
