Love or Hate Them? Every since I saw them in person I fell in love with them, there just... well loud, mean and pure sex. Here are some models I found that I liked.

You've thrown bobbers in with cafe racers in with naked or "standard" bikes in with factory street fighters in with cruisers. For example, your first post goes cafe, fighter, fighter, bobber, naked.

Too broad man, too broad.

No problem!

While it's not the prettiest, one of the more insane "hooligan bikes" is the Triumph Street Triple.

While Buell? You've got bikes the the M2, a naked/standard, to the Ulysses, an adventure touring bike. You talking about the XB9R/XB12R? XB9SX/12S? The 1125R?

They're all neat bikes that never quite worked out as well as you'd think,though. Really let down by the pre-industrial era 5 speed gearbox.

the big problem with Buell was definitely the driveline.

The Monster is not a streetfighter.

Nor is the bobber that was thrown into the first post.

That is true, but they do all run together :)

Fine line between a naked and a streetfighter (well, from the factory anyway), but a streetfighter and a bobber? No way.

One could say that the streetfighter is today's bobber, but aesthetically they're worlds apart.

I believe the separation between the bobber and streetfighter comes mostly from the update in designs. You've got much different frame geometry, cowlings, tank design, and headlight design.

I have seen a few streetfighters that had the front fender removed and the tail chopped. Personally this makes not sense as you're removing protection, but it has been done.

So, I guess this draws the questions. Can a current sport bike be turned into a bobber, or will it still be referred to as a streetfighter?
