    Blah 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?

    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

    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

    Go the streetfighter but you gotta change the headlight dude.

    Oops, I voted fighter before looking at the pics.

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

    I did the same Mekk


    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

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

    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?!

    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.

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

    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.

    yeah tis 140 at the crank


    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
