Can someone please explain to me the difference between a stunter and a street fighter. As was mentioned earlier this week by the streetfighter himself, he loves to see the look on peoples faces as he tows a streetfighter to the top of Mullholland dr. or whatever road for the sole purpose of blowing the proverbial doors of the fancy shmancy squid boys. Essentially street racing. Do we really need that type of publicity for our sport?  | |

NOT! A stunter can be a moded bike like low gears and smashed flat tank or a rider. Same with a street fighter.
Now, why is it any better to accept a group of riders determined to show how fast they can ride on public roads with no regard for anybody as opposed to another group that does tricks on public roads...and usually way slower with no regard for others?
Please explain Lucy.

Not everyone with a streetfighter street races. The bikes aren't the problem, it's some of the riders. (Just like with any other type of bike.)

Exactly Ned, this would be the same as stereotyping all sportbike guys?
Why do you hate streetfighters so much? They're just bikes...

The way I understand it is that a street fighter is a once fairing'd bike that has been de-plastisized. (No plastics) A stunter is a type of moron-class of sub-human | |

Or stereotyping stunters.
First off, I'm not a proponent of stunting. But what blows me away is the prevalent attitude supporting street fighters. On top of that, the answers I'm getting are pretty much "reaching for straws" answers.
It a bike not a rider.
Not all street fighters race.
Just cause I have a street fighter it doesn't mean I use it.
But all these answers are coming from Sport bike riders. And the only street fighter that has posted made it perfectly clear what his intentions are. But still everyone is O.K. with it.
I just don't understand the inconsistency.

I don't like the lights. Reminds me of a guy on all fours in a gimp mask. Dunno why I think that, I ain't deviant like that.
Also, am not digging the front brakes.

It's just one guy on this site. I'm not prepared to say all streetfighters suck because of him.
The KTM Duke is a streetfighter, and I had a huge grin on my face the two times I've ridden one.

You can't paint everyone with a broad brush because of the actions of a single person.....
Just as we shouldn't assume someone is a street racer because we see them in leathers on a 929, then we shouldn't judge someone for riding a streetfighter.
If I own a sport bike, I am not necessarily a street racer, if I own an assault rifle, I am not necessarily a killer, if I ride a streetfighter I am not necessarily a stunter....why is this so hard to understand?

A bike won't do anything stupid without a stupid person at the controls. The bike has nothing to do with how and where a rider rides.

I built my streetfighter, because I do not want a cookie cutter bike like a hayabusa, or the bike that you ride!! I want to be able to pull up on my bike and people ask "what is that?" And just to let you know that the people you see on streetfighters that ride the way you are talking about, probably have their bike as a streetfighter because they screwed up their bike, which was probably faired previously, and don't want to put the plastic back on because they know they are going to screw it up again. In my case I bought my bike from an a-hole, the same kind of guy that you are talking about, and it was in full sportbike fair. So, does that mean that you are an a-hole for riding a fully faired bike? To lump it together like you are doing is pure ignorance. And here are some pics of my streetfighter just for you. Built to be different, not an A-hole. http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w...R/100_0777.jpg http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w...R/100_0778.jpg | |
