Great use of an RC-51 if you ask me! Think Z1000 but with a tighter chassis and a proper(V-Twin

) motorcycle engine. If I could just find the parts and a donor bike.....

Nope. It is an RC-51 minus the fairing + a minifairing + tanks scoops and turn signals + CBR-RR tail end and end can + moved rads + blinged rims + a whole lot of blue....

This was thrown out there about 15 years ago to describe the "then-new" class of crashed sportbikes that had been resurected with a lack of plastic and put back on the road. A streetfighter is essentially a naked sportbike. Most factory "streetfighters" also have relaxed ergos as well...

Only if they renamed the Hornet "Viper."

That's an awesome looking bike. Although, does the brake fluid res. look really high to anyone else?

those resevoirs are the ugliest thing i've ever seen. I can't understand why they are the way they are. My 80 cd750 has a nicer one than 90% of new bikes, I'dont get it. They look so out of place.

That is one sweet bike though!
