History

The B-King however did not hit production until 2007. Instead, the GSR600 was unveiled in December 2005. With a very similar design styling, it was initially nicknamed the "Baby B-King" or "Baby King" by the motorcycle community.
It had various parts normally reserved for higher-end flagship models, such as the four-piston Toxico brake system used also on the GSX-R600 series.
