A mongrel then no pedigree that the seller can back up. He's probably bamboozled by what you asked him yakama
it won't get past the scrutiny of the knowledgeable still looks nice but not at that price unless seller could provide some history other than a brush off reply.

A street fighter is simply a bike owned by someone that does not know how to ride, keeps dropping the thing and no longer has money to repair it. At this point all the broken crap is removed and it is a 'street fighter'. The alternative is that they have a friend who also made a 'street fighter' but it was a different bike, the removed parts are donated and attached to the bike. Some 'mods' are required to make the new parts fit. It is now 'custom' and 'unique'.

True, it's very much a case of 'here's one I smashed up earlier' and I couldn't afford/be arsed/am too thick to repair it properly.

i only ever had 1 streetfighter it was a blade but it was purposly built as a stunt bike at shows was a good bike but i wouldnt have another, front end wobble was scary at speed due to no aero dynamics.
