Default "Street Fighter"...AKA "P.O.S"

Ever notice when someone selling a bike thats been abused and beat to ****, its instantly a "Street Fighter" LOL...I've had 2 tube frame Buells over the years, still regret selling both so I'm always looking for another at a decent price, came across this one on Craigs..

Not real familiar with Buells, but that one doesn't look to be in that bad of shape cosmetically.

Street fighter means they've laid it down and can't afford to replace the plastics.

Doesn't appear to be an improvement over stock.

For $2,800 you expect it to look like what? I don't know Buell's but can't be out of line for that bike

Im not seeing what the problem is. They removed the ugly plastic crap that goes under the tank. Removed the rear fender. Changed the headlight. Why is it a POS?

Agreed, the Yamaha FZ1 comes w/ an upright seating position, wider bars, no plastic & an R1 motor detuned 3-5 hp to lower the powerband. Know a couple folks w/ FZ1's & they are no joke. I'll stick to my rolling couch though.
