The dirtbike bars, lack of fairings, and sharper rake (from jacking up the rear) make them better for city duty.

      I think SuMo's have pretty much replaced fighters for this duty, though.... they are about the best urban hooligan bikes around IMO. The only advantage a streetfighter has over a sumo is at highway and super-legal speeds.

      SuMo's are sweet, but for a guy my size totally not functional.
