as Street Fighter is to "Bike I crashed and cant afford to fix"

If only that were true around here, while its common enough, a lot of pristine bikes get hacked to pieces and made into things like this

That was a perfect fireblade before that happened, and was the first picture i came across in my collection, there are many that are way worse.
Streetfighters from crashed bikes i don't care about, I even used to really like them a few years back before i saw so many nice bikes get "customised" by bolting on horrible german "my bike got rear ended" tails, some sort of amorphous blob/skull/predator face headlight and expensive, carefully crafted exhaust systems had at with angle grinders, car rims put on the back.
all of them end up being the same horrible looking bike, the same way dumbasses are hacking up vintage bikes now to "cafe" them out.

Also the front wheels on that gen of fireblade are 16'' so it is smaller.

i posted pics of a friends fightered fireblade in the pics thread the other day where we went and swapped his headers and can for a full akrapovic system that was going to be cut up to match the one in the pic above.


here is a quick dip into searching for "streetfighter" on a local classifieds site, bear in mind that a lot of these guys boast that there were not built from crashed bikes





the white one isnt too bad apart that retarded tail angle but I've sat on bikes with those hosed up tails and they are every bit as uncomfortable as they look.

That black and gold suzuki isnt bad, at least it has the oem tail on it. It just looks like someone took the fairings of it, which in the grand scheme of things is not horrible.

I should also mention i really dislike the majority of single sided swingarm conversions

same reason harley guys put iron crosses and skulls on everything and busa modders put stretched out swingarms. same reason dissafected teens pretend they're vampires

Suzuki Bandit GSF400, $1000

What's the catch?

Lovely litle bikes but the carbs on them are problematic, and the capacitors in the CDI like to dry up and let all the magic smoke out.
Parts are getting pretty hard to get. my first bike was the 250cc version, 4 62.5cc cylinders with an 18k redline, it was so much fun when it was working but a nightmare when poo poo started to go wrong.
