EDIT: On second inspection it's completely ugly.

I considered offering him 400 for that a couple of days ago.

Those bars look stupid up that high, the risers need to go.


And the back looks somehow wrong, I do like the raised backs but they have just not quite got it right on that.


A good idea in principal and a half decent base for a decent fighter.

But just, not right.

what a wasted effort.

If you'd done that to a Bandit 6 it might have looked better.

Tail just looks plain wrong, as does the front.

0/10.

If it didn't have that stupid tailpiece I would probably buy it.

I'm with Guv on this one, basis for an interesting bike there. If nothing else the single sided swinger is an interesting mod on that machine. Someone has obviously spent some time on it, bodes well for the engines condition as well.

It's been on ebay before so it looks like he's having trouble getting rid of it (no surprise there).

The tail is the worst bit of it imo - it's at far too much of an angle.

Shame as I reckon the standard GS500 is a pretty good looking bike.

it defentily has potential, the tail unit is good, but the angle is just stupid, same as the exhaust,
with just a little bit of work it could be really good,

buy it for 5-600, spend a weekend or two in the garage with the angle grinder and the welder and it could be quite tidy. If I didnt have 14 other projects I could be tempted.

Totally agree with it having potential, Bring the seat unit angle down and sort out the subframe and exhaust, Flat bars and i reckon it'd be a good runabout Karma

IMO, A 'Streetfighter' is defined by aggressive looks, Modified, Trick Engineering and Performance...Something a 125 somewhat lacks.

I know, hence saying that even that 125 is better than the P.O.S. at the top of the page.

Needs at least a foot sawing off the tailpiece and the exhaust before it has a chance of becoming half-respectable.

It's always a bad sign when the first word in an advert is spelt wrong! The bike ain't gonna be much better.

Oh dear.....thats worse. Is that overspray all over the back tyre? I'm not into streefighters whatsoever but if it does it for you then good for you. Do your knackers not hurt from riding things like that?

The jacked up back end really spoils the look of street fighters, as said they need to look aggressive not like a bus has gone into the back of them!

It's the second time that bike's been on eBay.

I've been looking for a cheap bike recently, so that one popped up a lot.

I'd have considered it if it wasn't for that back end. It just looks dodgy aswell.

I like the swing arm and rear end though. If it had a better done seat unit/exhaust I would probably have bought it.

The swingarm and wheel is probably worth more than the whole bike Laughing
