But your ghetto, stripped-off, no-fairings "streetfighter" bike with the fuel tank that has fairing bolt holes and fairing indents still says, "I wrecked my bike"

but if they're done right, and the bolt holes in the tank are covered somehow, they look great.
like this one:

hey there. His pregen has a homemade EFI system that probably cost more than many 250R J owners payed for their entire bike.
There are plenty of reasons to buy a pre-gen over a current model. The first thing that comes to mind to me is ease of service. Look at the difference in difficulty of a valve adjustment, or just the difference in difficulty of taking off the fairings for goodness sake. Not to mention, I like having a temp gauge, and I like the looks of the pregen as well.
If you want to see a current-gen bike that has been "street-fightered" and doesn't look so good, go peruse the crash section. Good and bad streetfighters of both generations exist. Without doing it right, both forms just scream "I crashed"
