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

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

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....
