Question about street fighter?

Question

How, exactly, does one make a "street fighter." Is it as simple as just taking off all of the ferrings, or does this process involve other modification? Also, is this purely a aesthetic decision (i.e. people believe it "looks cool") or are there actual benefits from modifying a bike in this way?

Answer 1

thats a style prevalent in the U.K. you can find stuff on the net if you took the time to look

Answer 2

Most Street fighters began life as a sportbike that got crashed. Instead of buying the tupperware to repair it, the owner decided to strip it. In general "street fighter" refers to a bike which has been stripped of anything not related to safety or Rideability including windshield and fairing.

Answer 3

The simplest way to put it is...you take out the parts you dont like and replace them with better preforming/looking parts to get a better look/performance.
