Its confuzed me to Chunks, but I can see the diference between a Cafe racer and a Fighter…Cafe racers have white lettered tyre’s…easy pizzy that one :hehe:
Whats it say on the tank? “Pest”?It was built for you then Tel?;)
The 1st foto is mine in its present cafe look and the 2nd is the same bike about 3 or 4 years ago in its fighter guize. Cheers for that foto Tel…a blast from the past m8;). Its amazing how a set of flat bars or clip-ons can change the look of a bike. After seeing that old foto im gonna put the B12 back as a fighter for sure:cool:
Mine says it’s a streetfighter on the logbook, but personely I wouldn’t call it one. 
even though i have a tuono,i dont think its a proper fighter!!!:w00t:
personaly i think a proper fighter should be built from the ground up,with something cool like a spondon or harris frame(not sure if there still made)and down as a one of.
not a production bike.
try the streetfighter website
maybe we should arrange a trip to the show!:smooooth:
The new definition of a streetfighter is a machine made from the ground up from the remains of a C90:D
i reckon a street fighter is a bike with all the crap stripped down, and nice new shiny bits added to make it look good, go faster, or sound better 
Just like Terry’s Blade you mean:D
surely thats a customised bike,? not necessarily a street-fighter…
but a fighter is customised
It’s more of an attitude thing isn’t it? Function over form, balls out aggression and hooliganism - from the rider and the bike!
I don’t think bikes like the Tuono, Speed Triple and SuperDuke can be called Streetfighters, although they have the same kind of spirit. Factory Streetfighter perhaps, but if you ask me a Streetfighter can’t be bought out of a box.
Normally a “customised bike” has every off the shelf bolt on goody the riders visa card can flex to. Factory fighters are exactly what they are, streetfighters should be bare bones and as hard as a junk yard dog
I think that a streetfighter is more a look, it calls for doing things on the cheap, and so a “streetfighter” made by a factory, would not be one. I have seen a tank sprayed with pickup bed liner material, which was just plain ugly, and I felt it did not qualify (it was the only mod on the bike). If this guy had put a set of forks on it still would not have been a streetfighter.
I’d say it would be basically derived from a sports bike, as they are the style that has become synonymous with the title. But I’d say that a street triple can’t be one, while a Daytona is one waiting to happen. In any case, it is a nebulous term. A “naked bike” as it comes from the factory, is not a bona fide street fighter, nor is it a simple case of dropped bars being replaced by a set of upright handlebars. I think when you see one, you’ll know it. That said, I can describe what one isn’t, but I can’t come up with a definition.
Does that obscure the issue, sufficiently?
I have a 98 blade fitted with straight bars/twin lights/Ducati tail and mini speedo;not much else except remote start/talking alarm and I call it a streetfighter
for me you cant buy a streetfighter off the shelf. you can recognise parts from donor bikes/custom shops but its a one off - whether you like the bike or not, you can at least admire the work thats gone into it, and their personal take on the bike.
and like pete posted, normally they decided to fighter it in the first place when they mushed it 
would a 1986 gpz 900 with r1 front forks & wheel along with jmc over length swing arm fabricated to take r1 rear wheel all the plastics skipped in theory would look interesting tell me WHAT YOU THINK

A streetfighter is a superbike that is customized by removing the fairing, and making other changes that result in an overall more aggressive look. Made popular by European riders, this type of custom motorcycle is gaining popularity all over the world.
This particular term should not be confused with a street motorcycle or street-use motorcycle, which is a generic term (used by the motorcycle industry) applied to urban street bikes.

[edit] HistoryThough it has its styling roots in the Café racer culture of the 1950s and 1960s, the streetfighter is very much inspired by the new Japanese bikes of the late 1970s and early 1980s. The term “streetfighter” appears to have been originally coined by Steven Myatt, to describe what the guys like Huggy, Irish Stewart and Huffy were building in the late 1980s. He applied the term to motorcycles which were modified to enhance their practicality, performance and handling, as opposed to the custom scene which preferred style over outright ability. Though it’s unclear when and who built the first of the modern streetfighters, the first sighting of the design template was seen in Bike magazine in 1983 when the editor commissioned Andy Sparrow to draw a comic strip to replace Ogri. It was entitled Bloodrunners and featured despatch riders, delivering blood and live human organs for transplant operations. They rode enormous japanese inline fours with turbos, with no extraneous parts. Fairings, mirrors, pillion seats & rear footpegs etc were all binned in favour of lightness and handling ability. Under-seat exhausts, dual headlights and the widest tyres were de-rigeur. Huggy Leaver was inspired to start customizing bikes in this style and there was a proliferation of ‘ratted’ streetfighters in London in the late eighties.
The term has since been diluted somewhat, and is now regularly applied to any bike with motocross style handlebars, no fairings or other typical customizations. In recent years, the term has also come to be applied to motorcycles manufactured without fairings in this style, usually based on the same engine/frame combination as an equivalent fully-faired motorcycle in the manufacturer’s product line-up.
Currently, race replicas, like the Suzuki GSX-R Series and the Honda CBR series, that have been damaged in accidents or through hooliganism are generally the starting basis for a streetfighter. The GSX-R 750 was initially often favored, due to its light weight and flexible engine. A side effect of the use of the 1980s GSX-R was the retention of the dual headlights in the subsequent streetfighter. This feature is now a common trait in both custom bikes and factory streetfighters like the Triumph Speed Triple.
In 1993 Ducati introduced a new naked sportbike called the Monster. Since that time it has been a perennial favorite amongst streetfighter enthusiasts. In 1994 however, Triumph Motorcycles introduced the Speed Triple, based on its Daytona sportbike. This was an immediate success and rapidly eclipsed the Monster in sales. The Triumph is now the current favorite among factory streetfighters due to excellent performance, low ownership cost, and high reliability.
In the intervening years both bikes have been substantially improved, and have been joined by a rapidly growing group of other manufactures producing naked sportbikes. These include: Benelli, Aprilia, Bimota, BMW, Moto Guzzi, Moto Morini, MV Agusta, and Buell, a subsidiary of Harley Davidson. Even the “big four” Japanese motorcycle manufactures, Honda, Kawasaki, Suzuki, and Yamaha, have tried to enter this market, but with limited success to date.
[edit] Modifications commonly made to custom streetfightersClip-on handlebars replaced with motocross-style handlebars Raised rear subframes Most fairings removed, modified or replaced Distinctive paint schemes Loud aftermarket exhaust systems Aftermarket headlights to replace often heavy headlight setups Large rear sprockets to sacrifice top speed for more acceleration Larger brake discs than stock Improved brake calipers Improved springs, shock absorbers, and various other parts to improve the chassis Various performance improvements to the engine: superchargers, turbochargers, nitrous oxide, increased cylinder bores, custom porting, revamped fuel injection and timing, etc. Ironically, some examples are so highly customized as to actually exceed the cost of the original repairs. Chromed and/or modified frames, expensive engine work, re-routed cables, various appearance accessories, and custom paint are also often seen.
[edit] Hand-made framesThe most extreme motorcycles are those with hand-made frames; the most famous of which are made by

[edit] ControversySome people automatically (although unfairly) associate the term “streetfighter motorcycle” as one that is being operated by a rider who usually exhibits a gross general neglect of traffic regulations. And although it may be true that “some” streetfighter riders do occasionally like to perform stunts while in traffic, it is still highly debatable as to whether or not streetfighter riders, in general, cause more problems on the road than riders of stock sportbikes, or riders of any other type of “street” motorcycle for that matter. The one explanation that might be attributed to this reputation of being a possible “traffic trouble-maker” might be the distinctive visual appearance of most streetfighter motorcycles; their appearance usually making them more easily “noticed” in virtually all situations, whether the rider is actually breaking the law or not.
Streetfighter…hmmmm. My personal thoughts on this are…The term ‘Streetfighter’ IMO is derived from the position you sit in…wide arms, knuckles horizontal.
A fighter is built by the owner, to look and sound as aggresive as possible.
A bike can be ‘fightered’…ie, remove fairings, drag style bars, jack up kit etc…but most of the modern sports bikes that have been fightered, i would class as Customfighters.
What’s the difference between a Streetfighter and a Customfighter?:ermm:
Everyone has their own take on it, it’s a personal preference. Bikes have moved on so much since the whole Streetfighter scene started that it’s almost impossible to define a ‘Streetfighter’. Some bikes lend themselves very easily to being ‘fightered’, and manufacturers have made attempts in reproducing the style, which i think stems from the ‘Retro’ wave of bikes available…but all in all, bikes that have been fightered, are ‘fighters’!
I would class my bike as a true classic Streetfighter.
Agree with yer on that one pal, think yer spot on. How kool is that Mr T thing!
