So, what bike do you have, again?

I'd say. Particularly compared to what could've happened if he put it down as he passed the parked bikes.

Well it isn't called a street fighter. And what exactly is a "street fighter" fighting anyhow...???

the street.

And you can buy some already made as street fighters.
My mate Dani has a Street Triple R to go with her new 08 CBR600RR. She rates it a ton more fun round CHCH traffic than the Blade and shes a sportbike nut from way back, so they must be good for something

Does having the fairing off make it easier to fit through gaps in the traffic or something..???

Sorry, I just don't get it... apart from being an image thing.

Fairings are overrated.

I would say it is more the bigger handle bars making it easier to turn at slower speeds

This 675 still has the original clip-ons on by the looks of it.

So perhaps just crashing your bike and taking the fucked fairing off is enough to class it as a "street fighter"...

Don't be Mr negative. When you see such heroes you are meant to say things like... "You are so cool.!" "I wish I could be like you when I grow up..!" "I want to father your lovechild (yes even though we are both boys)"... etc. etc.
