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.
