D1fuN0 Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 (edited) Well helloooooooooo Hiya kedrondell. Streetfighters - yeah! They are basically just a modern version at what the oldies called cafe racers. Bikes with bits chopped off, made themselves look like hooligans and drove around with LOUD bikes There are some excellent kits to start you off, the Busa and R1 as mentioned, as well as the Ducati 996, 1196, ZZ12, ZZ14. Then theres a couple worth looking at to play with, the Kawasaki Ninja RR & Honda RCV 211 Race bikes and even some of the old stuff like the CBR 400. and apparently now theres even a retro streetfighter with guys using old bikes like the CB750 & GPZ's but with modern styling. The only real limitation is your imagination. When it comes to customising, doesnt really matter which bits come from what, cut them down, slap on some paint and bobs your aunty. Get on the intergoogle thingy and search streetfighter bikes, that should give you a couple of hours of chopping porn,then if i were to suggest a nice one to start, then id go for Tamiya's Ducati 996. Nice frame and engine detail, which is what you want, and you can chop up the rear body as you like Hope this helps Steve Edited September 13, 2014 by MAD STEVE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

streetfighterjeff Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 if you want to go old school fighter try a slab side gsxr1100. also take a look at the streetfighters owners club and streetfighter riff raff. used to be a member and have still got my cbr 1000 fighter. those two clubs build some of the best bikes around. jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Cameraman Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 Hi There, going back about 15 years ago or so, my partner of the time did a couple of photoshoots for Streetfighter magazine. The results were great but inappropriate for this thread! Regards Reggie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
