ok, im new to all of this stuff. what are street fighters and what do you do on them?? thanks everyone

What is a fighter..........It can be just about anything as long as it nakid. The basics are, bin the bodywork, fit mx bars and spot lights, after that, what ever you want to do is fair game. STREETFIGHTER= High HP, one off, sport bike.

What to do with them............Ride them........of course!!!!!

yep, sort of modified bare bike, you know not full of plastic, often polished up and with........................................... well personality. I've kept my top fairing though but it's still a sort of 'fighter.

It's very much about taking a bike stripping it spending more time than money to make a piece of art almost which is completely individual, it's very different to just owning a bike that's the same as everyone else's.


They are common in the UK and Europe.

here's mine,

There are no hard & fast rules about streetfighters - common themes do include flat 'bars, no plastics , jacked up seat units , tuned engines , poshed alloy etc -

but each one is individual.

that's what appeals to me http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

I'd love to be able to afford to go out and buy something exotic, that is both insanely fast and pretty much unique - but since i dont have the £££'s ( sorry $$$'s - for you yanks http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif)
I have to build my own ! , there is a certain amount of satisfaction - knowing that you made it yourself too http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

of course , an irrational love of all things GSXR ( especially the oil cooled ones ! http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/yumyum.gif)
does have a bit of an influence too............ http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/punk.gif
