I would love to have the facilities to customise bikes like that! Can't say I like the result they have come up with, though. It looks too truncated for my tastes - and did you see they used the tail light for their Yammy XS400 job! And the colour scheme????? :unsure: I would love to hear it run with those new pipes though....

Thanks for posting the link, AGB-1!

Cheers,

I don't care much for it myself. I just posted it to see what it would go far. Tail too short and not a fan of clubman bars. AGB-1

Interesting idea.  Not my style, but I'd love to tear up some curvy roads with it for a day.

The handling might be interesting, as those shocks appear to be the cheapest of the cheap, going by what's available over here. They may be OK, but it doesn't say much for the builder's motives, beyond wanting to stamp his mark on an innocent bike!  :wacko:

In my opinion a streetfighter shall have a agressive engine. The VX engine is all but agressive, its calm and nice for sure - but a streetfightermotor? No for sure not.
 But the taste is, like we say in Sweden: "like the ass divided". So its up to everyones taste. I dont really like it.

The bidding only went upto 1800$.  I wonder what they wanted for it?

Its gonna be a long slog in making a name for themselves....people have ideas but ideas are cheap.  They need a show stopper.

I sent an invite to the seller.  Maybe he'll stop by and tell us more about the bike and what else is going on at his shop.
