Re: 12 fighter in bikesales
While on fighters and having a Bandit, how good does this Bandit Cafe Racer look!!!
I think it's a 600 not a 1200, frame lines are nicer, but gives me naughty ideas.

Re: 12 fighter in bikesales
I'm still toying with the idea of turning my ZXR750L into a fighter since I've never done a fighter build and like the way the ZXR handles! Already looking at chopping the subframe, ZX7R front end and a 900 motor!

Re: 12 fighter in bikesales
Well I got to thinking maybe the 12R does look better naked.
Bit of foam for a seat, what do you think?

I like that - maybe a bit low in the arse end - but it has some good basic lines about it....tim wrote:While on fighters and having a Bandit, how good does this Bandit Cafe Racer look!!!I think it's a 600 not a 1200, frame lines are nicer, but gives me naughty ideas.

A bike has a front, a rear and two sides.... you cant take away a couple of bits of plastic, change a headlight and call it a street fighter....
