Thumbs up This IS the bike! OMG it's beautiful (I would give almost anything for it)

You guys may have or have not heard about this extrodinary bike, but just read the article, and you'll be informed beyond your brain's capacity. This is the bike of all bikes, but too bad it'll probably cost as much as an expensive sportscar and it will probably come out in about 7-10 years. Just read about the electronics system it has and it looks helluva cool also I want one sooooo bad

Suzuki B-King.

The prototype uses a 1.3L(hayabusa engine) supercharged. The actual production bike will more then likely use the gixxer1K engine instead. And yes, it is a very hot bike.

Ah, and now I see the pictures. I haven't yet heard too much, so I will probably be checking out that article with a little more depth.

That thing looks downright crazy!!!

And if you haven't checked out its computerized and futuristic features yet, CHECK THIS OUT, here,
The B-King is loaded with electronic features, such as an ignition switch triggered by fingerprint recognition. There’s Star Trek Voyager-style on-board diagnostics via multiple sensors, whose values all have to be in the green or appropriate warnings come up on a screen - or even as verbal warnings via the in-helmet headphones!
and
If any slimeball messes with the motorcycle while you’re away from it the B-King will dial your mobile. Then you can tell the lowlife over a two-way speaker-microphone link what you’ll do with him if you get there before he scarpers! You can even blast the horn and flash the lights to attract help from nearby police officers, or better still, bike-thief-hating vigilante!

GPS is integrated into the B-King’s sophisticated flight controls. A helmet-mounted heads-up display in fighter pilot style is included to save you having to look down at the retractable instrument pod: A useful feature on a bike that’ll drag the distant horizon into the foreground before you can say "twist of the wrist!"
Taillight and indicator lamps are LED. The single-bulb headlight employs a specially shaped reflector to obtain the same wide distribution that presently requires multiple lights. The LCD dash display is in color, and can be covered to avoid pilot distraction. There is a further information visual display mounted on the fuel tank. All of this is primed by the B-King's super computer.

(Makes you want to drool, doesn't it?)

Isnt 240 hp too much? A ducati 996 has 110 hp (correct me if im wrong) and it does a 10 second quarter mile, what is this thing gonna do? 8? maybe 7?
