I need a new bike!!!!!

Anyone have any adivce on building a streetfighter? I'm looking at either a Busa or a Bandit 12 as a base so I'm looking at crash damaged bikes or old projects.

In fact, i've found a mint busa without an engine for quite a reasonable price.

Unfortunately, I can get hold of a Bandit 12 engine without much bother but the frames all tend to be mangled! Any suggestions?

If you go the Bandit route you can bin the mangled frame and get one from e.g. Harris, (or one or 2 others). Then you can polish it, or just paint the frame to show off that lovely Suzuki lump. Which of course can be tuned just as far as your wallet can afford to go.

I'm selling a 96 GSX-R 750 WT for only £2k if you're interested.

Only owner, loads of extras and had all bearings, the rear shock and front springs etc re-newed. Never been raced either.

Get a Gixxer/Blade engine and mate it with a custom built spondon/Harris frame...
