Motorcycle Street Fighter - transport for the metropolis

Streetfighters were singled out in a separate subgroup relatively recently. By and large, these are the same sportbikes, only possessing certain features.

It is believed that a street-racing motorcycle is the ideal transport for the city. It features high maneuverability, excellent handling, stability on the trajectory. He is prone to high speeds, but the race is not at the forefront. The world's best motorists offer a variety of streetfighter models. Do not pass by this theme and customizers, offering completely unique tales, created with their own hands on the basis of the legendary sports.

"Street Fighter"

This is how the word "street fighter" is translated. Motorcycles of this category, of course, are not designed to conduct military operations on the streets of the city, and in general, no violence is propagated. But the spirit of competition is peculiar to them. The owners of such bikes are not averse to chasing the race, and the steepness of their moto to love.

Technical features

Motorcycle type striffyter, in contrast to the classic sportbike, has a minimum of plastic body kit. His iron heart and mighty musculature are visible to all comers. He is devoid of excessive deliberate decorativeness and his harsh beauty lies in the harmony of the power units sticking out. This highlights the motorcycle strifter on the background of other two-wheeled brothers.

Narrowly urban design further binds the streetfighter to a large city. Often in the shape of a bike, you can see the elements of high-tech.

Streetfighter Owners

Who chooses such motorcycles? The owner of a street fighter can become a former sports biker, fed up with endless races. Often, this breed beckons those who have never coveted looking at high-speed motorcycles, but traveled to the classics, but suddenly I wanted to feel the breathing of the era and the squeal of a high-speed motor under the saddle. It is often possible to meet such a bike and under the saddle of a solid and well-to-do person, tied with a serious job to the megalopolis, but in the soul of which the free impulses and love for two-wheeled transport did not die. Perhaps today's businessman a few years ago was an avid traveler and drove on a SUV, leaving behind him not one thousand miles? This happens quite often.

In short, streetfayers attract those who want change. And those who have to spend a significant part of their time in the city.

City

Modern life dictates its conditions. Some townspeople have to travel considerable distances to get to work. The subway in the morning hours is similar to the disturbed anthill, and on the surface of the matter is not better. And who among the townspeople does not throw in a shiver from the terrible word "cork"? Believe, such people exist. And many of them travel on streetfighter.

Shorten the path by waving through the parkland or plantation? Easily! Cut the corner, maneuvering through the courtyards of the sleeping area? Also not a problem. Get out of the thicket of a traffic jam and go round it? Yes please!

Yes, yes, it's all about him, about street-striker. And yet it does not scare the cross, which must be overcome for the sake of the Saturday shish kebab, and you can go to a nearby town quickly and without problems. And what a fuel economy compared to auto! And it takes much less space.

The only thing that does not make a streetfight bike an absolute champion in the nomination "the best transport for the city", so it's seasonality. Yes, some drive in the winter. But even at -15 without a windscreen (and it is not on streetfighter) at a speed of at least a little more than a hundred survive difficult. However, this applies to all motorcycles. In winter, motor transport is completely deprived of its eternal two-wheeled competitor.

Caught in top

There are many models that correspond to almost all characteristics of a straightfighter, but their belonging to this class is controversial. For example, a series of "Monsters" from Dukati, and many other naked.

If you still set out to buy the best streetfighter, the Kawasaki Z1000 should interest you first. Pay attention to the creations of Yamaha, in particular on the models FZ-6 and FZ-1. You can also be impressed by the Honda CB-600F - a perfect example and embodiment of the idea of an urban street fighter.

Tuning and Customizing

And it is worth paying attention to the work of private artists. On the basis of almost any sport, a street fighter can be born. Motorcycles collected in smoke-filled garages sometimes impress the imagination and outshine their fellow-breeders with good pedigrees.

If this is your option, it is worthwhile to know the following. The base bike can be subjected to various types of modernization, but in most cases it will be waiting for the following:

• Getting rid of the plastic shell. Iron horse "undress", exposing her muscular interior. Remove the fairing, wings, anther of the rear wheel, engine covers.
• Replacing the steering wheel. And curved classics, and compact sports handles, most likely, will be replaced by a laconic tubular handlebars with a high fit.
• Upgrading the rear - it is likely to be lifted.

And still some changes necessarily will concern design that the motorcycle-striffajter has got own unique "face" of the street fighter.
