[Dumbass17]

so thinking of getting another bike
but want to go cheap..was thinking of picking up a cheap, mid 90's honda or something and turning it into a streetfighter...any recommendations?

not a 90's but an SV650, they look KILLER when theyre naked.

That SV is killer for sure but that won't be anywhere near op's budget if he's looking for a mid 90's bike.

If you want a street fighter for using and abusing, you should consider a used r6 or cbr. These bikes are everywhere so finding parts should be super easy. You can probably get a salvaged title for cheap and build up from there. Another big thing would be the weight, a mid 90's will feel like a tank so stunting on it will take a little more finesse. i'll bet you can find a decent 98-99 r6 for under $3k right now. I was always sportbike guy and hated street fighters but not anymore after seeing whats out there.

Im the same way.. after seeing what people are doing to bikes these days i could totally get on board with a streetfighter.

yeah this was a completely random thread topic..
i don't even know the first thing about building a streetfighter..time to google this shit.
and i doubt i'd be stunting..maybe the odd wheelie but that's about it

^ WAY back when, when I was 17, I bought a badly crashed (somewhat new at the time) '87 ZX750 Ninja (Ninja 750) at the CPA auction for $150, and totally rebuilt it myself. I made it into a pretty damn cool street fighter, twin chrome headlights & all.

Its really not hard to do, I can walk you through the transition process if you have any doubts, of what to do or where to get specific/custom parts made.

Too bad, I think I only have perhaps two pics of it, and they're just actual pics, nothing digital.
