And Duc Hypermotards and KTM 950 SM's don't count as motard, regardless of the name.

I dont think "Street Fighter" can be classified as a type of rider.
It is a styling preferance, but it is either based on a sportbike or sport touring.

All those bikes mentioned fall into either the sport touring or the sportbike category. That is how the sport touring category originally got started.

Please provide me your definition of a street fighter.
From my perspective, a streetfighter can be closely described as a naked sportbike.
I would like to know where there are significant mechanical variations in a street fighter as opposed to their sportbike counter part that would warrant them their own category.

clip-on and fairings are a pretty drastic difference. I, for one, would not consider a sportbike (having clip-ons and fairings) as a streetbike. I would however consider any of the above models. For those that have ridden both, the differences are quite obvious why they aren't in the same class.
Mechanically, a ZX-14 and a Connie are somewhat similar. But I doubt anyone would call a Connie a sportbike.
I doubt anyone would call a Monster a sportbike, despite sharing alot of mechanicals with the Supersport models. They certainly aren't sport touring bikes either, even though they share parts with the Mutlistradas.
Motards are VERY closely related to dirtbikes, but the 17" wheels and pavement oriented tires alone are enough to make them a class unto themselves.

I did not see an option for Amtrak as I ride that as much as I do my KTM seeing as I have to take it every time the Austrian POS is at the Spa

And I've had a number of sportbikes as streetbikes. Just don't see the point anymore.
