So? That doesn't make them any less desirable or well made... they're just not streetfighters is all, they're just nice custom naked bikes.

Ride one in the rain! Normal motorbikes have mudguards for a reason.

So streetfighters started out as fixed up binned sports bikes, now people are making that style of bike with loads of cash and starting from an un-binned bike or a box of bits.

Cool.

Man for a bunch of free-spirited bikers

we are awfully judgmental on the finer details and classification of everyone else's rides...

If i had the $$ i'd be up for making a sporty/naked look cool by stripping it down to the engine and frame and making parts for it - it wouldn't be chromed and blingy and not my 10r

He he.

Well taking that line is probably similar to saying unless you are a 100% full blood Maori you can't claim to be one ........

It doesn't make them any less desirable, they are just nice naked people .......

I'm off to my naughty corner now.

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

Flamed one is the only one I dont really like. Do like Ronniethe5th 's wifes bike. Expecting it to transform like bumblebee.
