I know you're trying to be funny, but a streetfighter is not necessarily just a wrecked out bike because someone was stunting it - those are usually called rat-bikes. Most owners fighter out a bike because they like the customized look of a production bike without looking like a production bike. The very same principle applies to choppers and customized cruisers. Indeed, a chopper is simply a streetfighter based on a cruiser body-style.
The trick to finding a stunt bike is looking for an engine cage, 90-bar and dents in the sides or top of the tank (because they intentionally hammered them there for grip). They usually have fairings removed or quick latches installed so they can be removed in short order, and there's usually fork or swingarm pegs on it.
I know this is a sportbike-bashing thread, but I at least wanted to get some information corrected before it got too carried away.

Not slamming legitimate "Street Fighters", "rats" or "stunt bikes". Merely the bikes wadded up by punk kids that they try to sell off as anything other than a ragged out torn up bike.
