GS is finished. Fighter from Finland. New projects 03/11!

[-ahven-]

We're so in fashion.

But... It's not my bike...

Personally, I don't like fighters at all. I love classic shapes and racing look.

Tail looks like after failed wheelie

Can you or someone tell me why the the ass raised up seat like that is part of the the street fighter build culture.

I don't know why they're so common on fighters, but I do love them!

This is a classic, 1074 GSXR. Its a bloody crime to do this to this bike. Just nearly as bad as putting an estended arm on it.
And I dont think streetfighters are that big a craze as somethign that is related to it - Bobbers. Everyone is building a bobber, they will bob anything, it made sense for bikes that were rear ended, or crashed and damaged the back end. And that lead to every Idiot in town that owns a hack saw to build a bobber. They bob bikes tha twere never intended ever to be bobbed, they bob bikes that are in near mint condition, and worst of all 1 idiot is bobbing a shadow 600, that was in a front end wreck, he bought it for 300, replaced the front end, is working on getting the tank replaced and repainted flat black, from a nice red, but the rest of the bike was green ... and then he's cut the back end and what not before figuring out the entire back 1/2 if that bike is plastic ... and he's putting a trailer fender on it, and leaving a bunch of fugly black plastic under the painted plastic. Yea ... a murdered out bobber. Yea ... cost him near 1500 ... after buying a wrecked 300 buck shadow. WTF.
I'll probably put pics of it when he's done. If I can ever stand to be around that fool.
However one moron has a stretched and polished YZF 600, yea stretched, polished and rusted ... steel frame ...
And another has cafe'd a maxim 650 with 48K miles. That bike started out life with a transmission defect, and the fact that it made it to 48K is a miracle in itself. This fool paid 650 for it, and proceeded to turn it into  cafe, has a old ducati cafe tank on it, and yea a big fat 4 cyl motor is just perfect under that skinny duc tank ... yea dumbaxx. And yea its totally worth the 4K you want for it.

Oh yea that's the other thing, after hacking a bike to bits, they try to sell it for more than what the thing would cost new ...   ...

You take a hacksaw to a bike, its over for you ever selling it. You are going to take it to your grave. Even the ones that want bobbers wont buy your bobber, they think they can do it for nothing. Its 1000 times easier to sell a bike that is apart than one that has been hacked and re assembled even if it runs.
This bike just has a tail section that was modded, its an unbolt and swap out item, can be reversed.
Cool.
Buddha.

haha yeah man people get really protective of those old gsxrs. I'd rather start with a crashed one, not just to avoid ruining a perfectly good bike, but because it's much cheaper that way. You've gotta fix a bike up the way you want to ride it though. Japan refuses to make serious naked bikes, so the only thing left to do is take a sportbike and chop it up. His bike has been around though. They made those slingshot gsxrs until 98, so it's not like they're all classics.

Finally I gave up and said goodbye to Suz's.

Here's my new toy, wheelie-machine with hollow LeoVinces:



Lovely, rough and having lots of fun factor!

[Bluesmudge]

I wish those were sold in the states! I think I have the same engine in my '88 NX 650 and its a lot of fun!
