While on fighters and having a Bandit, how good does this Bandit Cafe Racer look!!! :shock: I think it's a 600 not a 1200, frame lines are nicer, but gives me naughty ideas. :D

The seat/tail is from a modern built retro Ducati racer, lights from speed triple, and the pipe must be tucked in behind that belly pan and it must be bloody loud! :shock:

I'm still toying with the idea of turning my ZXR750L into a fighter since I've never done a fighter build and like the way the ZXR handles! Already looking at chopping the subframe, ZX7R front end and a 900 motor!

Have to agree there too.... faired bikes dont do the streetfighter look very well............. tho having said that, on lasts year GP run i followed a trick looking R1 that had been done, and it looked real sweet, but looked like it had a lot of $$$$ throwin at it.. but it was horn.

Trouble is, ur behind the 8ball with a ZX12R cause they have been belted with the farrkin ugly stick to start with, so dont have much to work with anyway....... just sayin is all :lol: :lol:

Well I got to thinking maybe the 12R does look better naked.

I like that - maybe a bit low in the arse end - but it has some good basic lines about it....

Me too Gos, the question is could I get my B12 to turn out good for a reasonable outlay :? I'm working on the 6 at the moment, once it's all hunky dory I'll be looking into it

Just don't half do it Tim, that's where people go wrong IMHO....
A bike has a front, a rear and two sides.... you cant take away a couple of bits of plastic, change a headlight and call it a street fighter....
