Streetfigher or Stock?

Streetfigher or Stock?

This bike goes up for sale at the end of november with full service history in fantastic condition.

But till then... streetfighter or full fairing? Which looks better?

[xwhatsit]

That's a fucking pig ugly `street fighter' headlight you've got going there, and that's coming from a CB250RS owner.

Surely standard would be better re-sale any day, even if it was a proper streetfighter set-up?

That said, that's just re-sale. I'd probably ride it in so-called streetfighter mode myself, stock headlight or not. Looks quite low-slung and my position on fairings is well documented :)

[rwh]

Well, it obviously looks pretty good with the fairings (though not as good as blue/green).

But it doesn't look too bad without - except I'd be keen to change the headlight. Useful info for me to stash away :)

Voted stock but it's more a question of whats the lesser of 2 evils... ;)

[deanohit]

Go the streetfighter but you gotta change the headlight dude.

[Mekk]

Oops, I voted fighter before looking at the pics.

The "fighter" there looks like it's missing pieces...I'd go stock for selling.

[Disco Dan]

Will be stock for sale. Plus extra set of fairings if they are not sold before november.

Been 'lent' to a friend till november as I cant ride two bikes!

Stock looks WAY better than the pic presented here.


Def change the headlight & tidy up the electrical's & you would be a long way toward a decent lookin SF'er



Heres my fav SF'er of all time

[Disco Dan]

The fairings were swapped over and bike cleaned... while 'naked' it took my eye and I just had to take a picture... :yes:

Go streetfighter but keep it as close to stock as possible. Get a new headlight assembly and keep it really modular, so you can quickly change between the two. Then when you're selling it you can list it as both a sports and a SF. Hey, who wouldn't want two bikes for the price of one?!

[Mekk]

Yeah, there's something about the naked look...you can almost feel its rawness.

I'd say it looks a lot better in person too.

Here's mine.

Damn those Corsaros are hot looking bikes. Had one blast by me while in the truck the other day, they sound awesome too.:Punk:

Very Monster-esque, I like it a lot. I'd say it's 140 at the crank but fighters are more about the torque for me, of which it has oodles. Besides, the thrill of a naked hits much sooner than the speeds a faired bike has to get to for a similar feel. 87º V too...interesting.

I definitely wouldn't say no.

She sure is torquey, not too loud by any means from stock but has a sweet subtle note when it blast's past.


Kelly said today when he had it too 235km/h it was a lil unstable so backed off, is gunna trial a small screen & see how that goes

[xwhatsit]

Offtopic, but why can't you get the hang of posting polls Dan? :lol: You want radio buttons, not check boxes :yes:

[Grahameeboy]

Why isn't there a 'Neither' option?

[Coyote]

Why isn't there a 'Neither' option?
Get a mod to put it on


If you're selling the bike, I suggest streetfightering it for now to keep those nice looking fairings somewhere safe. Don't know when a car may back into it or the stand fails due to a gust of wind (both happened within a week of me owning my nice, shiny, and professionally painted VFR. Never going to buy a nice condition bike again)

[Animal]

Oh no, I voted "Streetfighter" before seeing the subject bike pic! Big mistake! Keep it stock, methinks in hindsight.

[Joni]

Yeah I am usually a big fan of streetfighters, but sorry little dude thats one is pretty fugly!

Keep it stock in this case IMO.

:yes:

[imdying]

When are you going to post the picture of the streetfighter?

Crashing a bike and taking the fairings off doesn't make it a streetfighter :no:

[McJim]

If you're lending the bike to a friend I would put the gnatty scratched and faded fairings back on and then put the nice shiny ones on for the sale.

I have to agree with Imdying here though in saying without the fairings it doesn't look street fighter...it just lookes crashed.

I know the streetfighter concept was born from the cost of new fairings after a bin but to do it properly would need an investment of time and effort in getting a nice headlight and cleaning up all the nasty dirty bits usually hidden by the teapot exterior of the GSXF.

The frame is too utilitarian for a SF too. Nice alloy or tubular steel trellis frames work well visually but the box section frame just looks like the fairings are missing.

Sorry Dan. Keep it covered.

[Swoop]

Keep that ugliness covered!!

[Kittyhawk]

I wouldnt street fighter it. People would question as to weather it was binned or not.

However, if you were going to street fighter it you have to do it properly, which means more investment in the bike. Chances are what extra you put in you wont get back.
