So what you're saying is, that you want a bike that WILL go round corners?

So if I read you correctly, you're wanting to exchange your naked Gixxer 1100 (sorry my friend - that doesn't make it a streetfighter !!) for an early curvy + £1500 ?

Do you realise that the earliest SV will still be 9 years younger than your GSXR?
The SV is a budget bike, but it's not that budget. Unless your bike is a fantastic specimen with low miles, I reckon most SVs will be a straight swap in terms of value.

Razor....i'll give you that one, it would be nice.
Supervox.....what 'is' a streetfighter then ??
Carsick.. i have seen several SV'S for around the grand mark, as old as my bike is, it's worth more than a grand, therefore, in my eyes i'm not being unrealistic.

A true streetfighter is an amalgam of different bikes that are brought together to meet the owners desired spec.

The Gixxer 1100 is probably the grandaddy of 'fighters. But, most have had 1 or more transplants (frame, front end, swingarm, rear end, etc) as far as I can see from your pics & description yours (which looks VERY clean, neat & tidy by the way) has had the fairing removed, the clip-ons replaced by Renthals & some powder coating done.

Please don't misunderstand me, I'm not knocking your bike at all - merely questioning your describing it as a streetfighter.

If you really want to sell it I would suggest putting an ad in Streetfighter magazine as (for the right price) it would probably appeal to quite a few people who wish to use it as a 'base' for a 'fighter project.

Alternatively, you could put the clip-ons & fairing back on whereby it might appeal to the 'retro' crowd.

I think you'll be VERY lucky to find someone willing to give you an SV + £1500 - but hey, you never know !!

Think he's looking for a SV + £500 (not £1500) or so.

If you want to sell it try http://oldskoolsuzuki.info they're the well known gixer nuts often mentioned in SF mag.

I once rode a stock GSXR1100L, jumped off my '93 fireblade and swopped with a mate of mine for a short ride. He wasn't pleased when I rode the gixer through a hedge, he was pleased with the 'blade tho
