Well, I am completely new to streetfighters, up to this point I have stayed away from sport bikes because I know I like speed too much and would end up killing myself. Currently I am riding a suzuki vl800 bobber and am 85% finished on a vl800 chopper. I am an officer in my local Motorcycle club yet I am the only metric rider. My 800cc Vtwins are fun, but I am looking for a little more from time to time.
As fortune would have it I came across a '92 gsx600that had spent its previous life as a drag bike for the amazingly low price of $200
original plan was to rebuild this well abused bike into a strip only machine, but somewhere along the way (maybe it was too many hours or beers in the garage) I decided to get her streetable and have a little street fun and run the street ET class at the track.
So, after spending another $200 to get this thing titled Here I sit. A blank canvas, '92 Katana 600 frame with a 16 inch streched and strutted swingarm, no plastics, blown front fork seals, and a hole the size of my fist in cylinder #3 (definately not rebuildable).
Current thoughts are to bring in the swingarm "6-"10 and to go with a gsxr-1000 motor in this bike, I plan on keeping her rigid in the the rear but other than that I come here for ideas and guidance.
so I am a noob around these parts, not to bikes by no means, but I am new to streetfighters, and after my last couple bikes I am ready to try a different direction.
