Um yeah. Not my cup of tea. I'm sure some one out there will be interested though....maybe.

The rear guard is a bit ugly and those wide dragbars are just begging for some dropdown mirrors, but overall it looks pretty badassed.

Given streetfighters started with 7/11 gsxrs, this should not surprise you.

I've seen that a few times and reckon it's a steal at what he's asking. It's one mean fuckin motor scooter.

Its like a dog with a docked tail, either you like it or hate it. At least you don't see much of it when riding it.

Its a bit spikey for my taste, but has been done rather well. I bet it was a project and not ridden a whole heap.

Yip, that thing is fuckin cool.
We'd all have done something different to it I'm sure though, customising a bike is all about your own tastes.

By the looks of it, I think the skull bit is a removable cover.

I'd say it's a lot nicer than 90% of the streetfighters you see on trademe.

Not to my Bandit, no. To each his own though and it looks like there was a fair bit of work done on it.

If I owned one it'd be subtle looking with USD's and useful things. (I take a Gixxer11 any day though)
That's pure madness though, I like it :yes:

at least it doesnt have one of those super high angled tail sections that seem to be on most street fighters, ugly! but hey different spokes for different folks.

Too right, another thing about customising, is never sell it! Nobody else will like it as much as you do, and you'll never get your money back.
I think it is very well done for that style of bike, flat bars are a nice touch with very clean layout, not too into it myself though.

It's nice to see a Bandit with a bit of attitude again. Somewhere along the way the original factory streetfighter cut off it's long hair, ditched the Doc Martins, and put on a suit and tie.....kinda sad.

Oddly enough this has got me thinking, :scratch:
I am now wondering if I should keep the Ducati. Drop the 748 motor I have seen on tardme in it and just mess with it. :facepalm:
Like take the exhaust up under the seat like the 748/916 :killingme:
donno... :chase:
