Streetfighters are great bikes. Done properly far too many bolt on dominator headlights garnish it with I'll fitting renthals and put odd wheels on and call it a streetfighter.......... It's not. It's a sack of sh1t. But it's the owners pride and joy. That should be respected

Streetfighters are the way forward. Why do you think every manufacturer now has a streetfighter focused bike in their line up

Ducati streetfighter
Yamaha fz1 now mt10
Kawasaki z750 / thou
Suzuki gsr
Honda cb1000. ( big twins beaut)
Ktm super Duke

All produced after manufacturers realised people wanted sport bike engines flat bar naked bikes

Streetfighters are the focus now. mainly because all the sports bikes these days are getting smaller take the 2015 r1. Made fir an 11 stone rider. No one weighs that! I'm 6ft tall and can't ride it.

I'm gibbering on. You get my point.

Cafe racers are just an extension to this and as such manufacturers have cottoned on and making them for the mass market

What's the next craze? Off road harleys...... Google caraducci ds

No need for a tank Mick, 6 carbs of fuel will get you about 300 yards.......thats about 295 yards more than you would want to ride it
