موتورسیکلت استریت فایتر

استریت فایتر (به معنای جنگجو خیابانی) به نوعی از موتورسیکلت با انجین قدرتمند و اسب بخار بالا گفته می‌شود. این موتورسیکلت‌ها معمولاً موتورسیکلت‌های فوق‌العاده ای هستند که محافظ باد و شیشهٔ جلوی آن‌ها برداشته شده‌است.^[۱]^[۲] فراتر از حذف ساده شیشهٔ جلو، تغییرات خاصی که نمای خیابان فایترها را نشان می‌دهد عبارتند از یک جفت چراغ جلوی بزرگ و گرد، طول فرمون بلند و شیبدار به سمت بالا، صدا خفه کن‌های سبک‌وزن و همچنین تغییراتی در دنده‌ها برای افزایش گشتاور و شتاب در سرعت‌های پایین‌تر. Streetfighters همچنین نام یک مجله موتورسیکلت در بریتانیا است.^[۳]

استریت فایترهای بعدی از فریم‌های سفارشی برای غلبه بر ضعف فریم‌های فولادی استفاده شده در سوپر موتورسیکلت‌های ۴ سیلندر اولیه در دهه‌های ۱۹۷۰ و ۱۹۸۰ استفاده کردند. بسیاری از این فریم‌ها به عنوان تکه‌های زیبایی از هنر متالورژیکی در نظر گرفته می‌شوند.^[۴] بسیاری از آنها نیز در اصل موتورسیکلت‌های مسابقه ای بودند.^[۵]

این نوع موتورسیکلت سفارشی که توسط موتورسواران اروپایی محبوب شد،^[۶] محبوبیت جهانی پیدا کرد و در ادامه سازندگان موتورسیکلت در اواخر دهه ۱۹۹۰ با انجام اصلاحاتی^[۷] به تولید استریت فایترهای ساخته شده در کارخانه‌ها پرداختند. شرکت سازندهٔ موتورسیکلت تریومپ در سال ۱۹۹۴،^[۸] هوندا در سال ۱۹۹۹،^[۹] و استریت فایترهای تولید شده توسط دوکاتی در سال ۲۰۰۹ از اولین نسخه‌های این سبک از موتورسیکلت هستند.

تاریخچه

اگرچه ریشه‌های سبک خود را از فرهنگ مسابقه‌ای کافه‌ای در دهه‌های ۱۹۵۰ و ۱۹۶۰ دارند، اما استریت فایترها از موتورسیکلت‌های ژاپنی که در اواخر دهه ۱۹۷۰ و اوایل دهه ۱۹۸۰ تولید می‌شدند نیز الهام گرفته‌اند.^[۱۰] بعداً چراغ‌های جلوی مناسب‌تر و سپس فرمان‌های بلندتر برای کمک به کنترل و دور زدن راحت تر اضافه شدند.^[۱۱]^[۱۲]

اولین بار الگوی طراحی استریت فایتر در مجله Bike در سال ۱۹۸۳ مشاهده شد. عنوان آن Bloodrunners بود و موتورسوارانی را نشان می‌داد که خون و اعضای بدن زنده انسان را برای عملیات پیوند به بیمارستان‌ها می‌رساندند و آنها در آن تصویر با موتورهای توربو، بدون قطعات جانبی، سوار بر چهار موتور بزرگ ژاپنی بودند. محافظ باد در جلو، آینه‌ها، صندلی‌های پایه و گیره‌های عقب و غیره همگی به نفع سبکی و قابلیت کنترل بهتر حذف شده بودند. اگزوزها زیر صندلی، چراغ‌های جلوی دوگانه و لاستیک‌ها، پهن‌ترین لاستیک‌های اسپورت بودند.

هنرپیشه هاگی لیور برای سفارش دادن موتورسیکلت سفارشی‌سازی شدهٔ خودش در این سبک، شناخته شده‌است و بعد از او در اواخر دهه ۱۹۸۰، تعداد استریت فایترها در لندن افزایش یافت. اصطلاح استریت فایتر برای اولین بار توسط یک عکاس خبری و سازنده موتورسیکلت بریتانیایی به موتورسیکلت‌های خیابانی سفارشی سازی شده برای استفادهٔ ورزشی توسط شرکت هارلی دیویدسون اطلاق شد.^[۱۳]
