I feel some custom bodywork and exhaust happening

Hey STREETFIGHTER88, congratulations on the bike, looks real nice. Most folks around here are just like you; constantly modifying their bikes, so you’ll get plenty of know-how here. Nice to have you with us.
Welcome to CBRF

BTW, maybe you could answer something for me. I’ve noticed that in Europe, and particularly in the UK, folks tend to prefer naked, streetfighter styled bikes. Is there a reason for it or am I just imagining things?

I dunno to be hounest i think its just the same as in england alot of people cant afford good cars so modify there little crappy things and its the same with bikes we cant afford to insure 1000's so we modify what we have got and streetfighters just offer a wider range for custom modes youve made yourself rather than boltons.
