your putting a f.i. cage on, but at the same time your worried about handling. one or the other, stunt or *** knee drag make up your mind

 

the bike can still get pretty low with the cage on, i cant drag knee, but i dont have any chicken strips on my tires, plus ripping up and down backroads is fun, but so is stunting

 

 

+1

 

why?? streetfighters are ugly


cons....ugly

see-->>

 

Streetfighter all the way! the wind is not a problem. it even has less turbulence thanks to no windscreeen. its not hard to hold on at any speed really and with out plastics my bike runs a cool 170 degrees around town. best part is, if i want to sell it, the value of the bike is still solid. all i have to do is put the plastics back on and change the tank and no body would ever know it was stunted. if you want a nice bike then get another bike for the street.

 

I THINK YOU USED TO OWN A FIGHTERED BIKE OR WAS THAT SOMEONE ELSES BIKE YOU RODE AT STUNT WARS A FEW YEARS BACK-- THAT WAS PINK

 

Do what ya like. I think we're at the point in this game where it doesn't really matter anymore and quite frankly nobody cares. Personally, I think streetfighter all the way. If you're into looking good in pictures, keep the plastics, it looks way better.

 

I took the front end off of my bike, and it just seemed so much lighter and easier to learn on. Give it a shot, you can always put it back on.

Oh, and by the way, if you have an older Fi cage, you mine as well sell the front end to pay for all the welding your gonna need to do when your frame tabs and subframe break.

 

+1 old generation fi for the gixxer is not good if you are just learning, if you got some skills and not gonna pancake it alot then its fine, the tabs on the frame are already weak and the fi cage just raises the chances of breaking them off

 

Here's my opinion do what you like who cares what anyone thinks...

 

Def gonna have to make up ur mind man.......there is no in between.....stunt or twisties.....

and what i did is the first few days i learned to 12 i rocked SF.....but as soon as i had it down...all the fairings went back on....so that's my advice but i have to agree with KANE and everyone else.....FAIRINGS

but make up ur mind man:YEAH :YEAH

 

I already took the fairings off my f4i I just picked up a few days ago. I like it better for now definatly. I figured it would save my fairings for when I drop it and I can always put them back on later. I think it took me a total of like 25 minz to drop all plastics and I wasnt rushing so even if it took me an hour to put back together when I want big deal. If I was a mad ballar stunter id rock full fairings just for the bling effect. But for now I'm going streetfighter cuz Im a sucky n00b. And honestly I like how it looks even tho others may say its ugly.

 

hey stock05, why are you calling bs on me not having chicken strips? is it cause of the cage? cause i havnt ridden since i put the cage on, just leaned it over a bit, and it seemed like it had ok clearance. but if your saying its cause i cant ride, your wrong

 

I personally like full fairing but in regards to learning going SF will save you alot more money
