To me a street fighter style happens when you crash the bike and need to ditch the fairings and add an aftermarket headlight, then you start adding go faster bits until you reach a level of customisation that suits your riding style/environment. I've never understood why people sought to emulate it without the riding experience that goes with it.

i like that idea of a motorcycle growing

Yes, that's right.
Maybe because they belong to a school which teaches coolness if you look like bandit bad ass.

True that. I'm mid way through doing a 'Combatentte Povera' job on My GSXR. Admittedly someone else had already crashed it this time which is a novelty for me.
All the re-wiring and making brackets for things has turned it into a bit of a Pandora's box, but the amount of weight I've lost is pretty amazing - especially as my COG is shifted back by the renthals and most of it was over the front wheel. The stock headlight unit alone must weigh a couple of kilos.
I'm really looking forward to seeing how it rides - I've not had a bike with mandlebars for almost 20yrs!

I personally don't like any street fighter, they remind me bikes for robbery or hooligan mentality. If not sporty then a scrambler or a motard.
