No offense to the street fighter owners out there but I never really understood why you would want to make your bike look like it was in an accident?
I can see why for stunters but for everyday riders I never understood it?
Not trying to start an arguement just really wanted to know why people want to do this?

I think fighters look awesome! Maybe because I ride dirt too...and like the dirty bars on bikes. Almost like a supermoto. Too bad Honda wouldn't put the fi engine into the hornet Usaf's fighter looks like it would be a blast to me!

Im going to put my neck out there and agree with you.

I know streetfighters are a love/hate topic. I myself like streetfighters, but certain bikes just dont agree with that look.

To me an f4i "streetfighter" looks like an unfinished bike, or a bike that was in an accident, and you didnt have enough money to replace/fix it, so you call it a "streetfighter".

Let the comments begin....

So I hope no one is offended by my comment but

I beleive street fighters should be done one of two ways...

the right way











or not at all... lol...

alot of people hate street fighters... i think they look awesome as long as your building a all out fighter, not a bike that you wrecked and are to cheap to buy parts for...

op, this isnt at all directed to you (as i dont know what you future build entails) it direct to those saying fighters look like junk

Completely agree.

To crash your bike, and then call it a streetfighter because you put a new headlight on it, is a slap in the face to those who actually build a true streetfighter.

Not all fighters have a uptail, like the ones z has posted. I do agree with him Not just because he is a good friend but because they need to be done right. I don't have a ton of money butim doing a budget build fighter and so far its coming out alright. I may not have the money all up front but in time ill have my single sided swing arm and a custom fiberglass headlight... but it all takes time and money which a lot of us are short on. So I have to say your bike isn't quite a fighter yet just a stock f4i without fairing and bar riseres and dirt bars. To see some cool fighters check out customfighters.com justto poke around its a cool site.
