Not hardly. You're highly exaggerating and give me waaaaay too much credit.

It's my extremely short legs that gives me the most problem with bikes with a higher seat height. :(

I liked the B-King when it was a supercharged Concept. I am a a Busa Owner and Fan so its size doesn't intimidate me. It is however mud ugly in my eyes. To make matters worse the Gen 2 busa and B-Kings require significant changes the valve train in order to sustain any worthwhile amount of boost so force feeding them has gotten a good deal more pricey. (so much for the original Boost King title)
There are 2 in dealerships local to me that have birthdays and they are anxious to DEAL on.
If you don't mind the look (one sales guy called "The Transformer Bike") They ride very nicely and have a generally U-Jap meets Cruiser riding position with great brake and good handling for a machine of its size. (Well that was my impression after an hour on one)

Rode one a couple weeks ago, I liked the bike but it's too small for me.

Sport Rider did an article about one where they turbo'd it (6 lb boost) and did a few other mods, custom exhaust, streach, etc. Said it rode very well.

Serious? I sat on one in a dealership and thought it was huge.

Thats b/c they screwed it up from the factory. It's way too ugly and takes too much cash and mods to make it look acceptable. They shanked that on their own.

I'm 6' 220 and sat on one at a dealership. It was huge but my legs pressed hard into the air intakes and made it uncomfortable.

If you are about 5'5" and 300lbs then the bike is perfect for you.
