Alongside the 2007 GSX-R1000, Suzuki unveiled their 2007 Bandit and B-King models today in Paris. The B-King has been rumored to be headed for production ever since Suzuki showed a concept version at the 2001 Tokyo Motor Show. Powered by a detuned version of the Hayabusa’s 1300cc inline-four, the B-King will be one of the fastest naked bikes in showrooms today.
For those looking for a less aggressively-styled ‘standard’, Suzuki has updated their entire Bandit lineup for 2007. Revised styling (including both naked and faired models) and reworked chassis are found on both the 1250 and 650 Bandit models. Both bikes also get new liquid cooled, fuel injected powerplants, the 1200 with a capacity increase to 1255cc. The faired Bandit 1250 is pictured at left.
Unfortunately for American motorcyclists, Suzuki does not currently offer either Bandit model in the United States, so it is possible that we will not receive these new 2007 models. The B-King, apparently, will appear in the U.S. late next year as a 2008 model.
