Streetfighters?

**SARGE** · 5th August 2009, 21:50

theres recently been a lot of noise made about "Streetfighters".

n ow .. dont get me wrong .. i love these bikes .... WHEN THEY ARE THOUGHTFULLY ENGINEERED, REBUILT, CUSTOMIZED and/or UPDATED

NOT...

a beat up 120,000 km POS CBR600 that been rolled, bowled and assholed.. crashed and the fairings are too expensive to fix so you strap a few $29.95 plastic aftermarket headlights to the forks and hand some bar end mirrors to it to make it look like some retarded boi-racer with a wing on the back of a fucking front wheel drive..

correct me if im wrong...

REAL STREETFIGHTERS

Hmmm, I wonder what you've been looking at.....

I fully agree, well pointed out....isnt the second one along a "vtr" concept bike...I seem to recall the tricky dicky front sussies

Couple of my favourites.Both done by blokes on the TL forum,sadly the second one came to an end not long after being built.

I reckon a blinged up Speed Triple would do me nicely. I just need something for the other but tock.

If its to be a Striple then this would be my place to start.Reckon one could make one of them look the business.

Bloody hell, some of those are shit....
But come on, how can you class a factory naked bike as a "streetfighter"?
Buell's, monsters etc aren't streetfighters per say.

A streetfighter needs to have started life as a fairing bike and been modified from there..

Well, only the flamed one comes close to the streetfighter ethos, black one is close but a little too tarted up, and not stripped back enough to really be one. It sure is nice though.

That thing with flames is pretty ugly, but it's the closest out of those four.

And what exactly is a streetfighter fighting anyhow..???

**ronniethe5th** · 6th August 2009, 10:43

this is my lovely wifes' streetfighter - daytona 650, goes like the proverbial bat and noisy as where that bat was from!

i actually prefer her bike more than my buell...

I never knew there were so many unwritten rules about what qualifies to be a street fighter, perhaps if someone took the time to write them down everyone could get together and agree on a few of them....
