Suzuki B-KING at The Ace Cafe
29 July 2007
Today at The Ace Café London Suzuki UK brought along a wonderful machine for the crowds to view and inspect – The Suzuki B-KING. Unveiled at the Tokyo Motor Show in 2001, the Suzuki B-KING concept machine was highly acclaimed from the moment the covers were lifted. With such outlandish styling and brutal power, the B-KING's transition from concept to reality has not been an easy one, but uncharacteristically for a concept machine, it has stayed remarkably true to its original form as it gets ready to become reality to the British market on 1st September 07.

Streetfighter Sunday At Ace Cafe
16 June 2007
Inspired by rich heritage and traditions, Ace Cafe London still embodies the same values as it did when it was first home to the Ton-Up Boys & Girls and the Rockers. What could be found on a Triton when going for the ton in the 50s and 60s, is emulated today on modern sports bikes and streetfighters. The idea behind Streetfighter Sunday was to bring modified motorcycles back to their ancestral home. Although the machinery would be different, instead of Tritons and Cafe Racers, with clip-ons and rear-sets, there would be nitrous-injected Hayabusas, instead of Tribsas, there would be Harris Magnums and Martek specials. Yes, the bikes are certainly different, but the ethos remains the same - modified motorcycles in the name of performance and extremes!
