Default Bought my Valentine some gifts
Got bored with the bike for a while, so I had to spice it up...

How much do you compromise in ride quality with it being lowered and stretched?

Anyone can ride a motorcyale fast in a strait line. How about entering a turn running 150 and smoking the tire exiting the turn full lock. Now thats riding!

Yeah, I guess, but it would be like one of us taking our v8 out and putting a 4banger in it. Like wipin before you poop, it just doesnt make any sense.

well if its gonna be for drag racing like the busa guys use I can understand. Me I would use it for the twisties but in the end its not my bike. I would be throwing on a Ohlins adjustable rear shock, Pilot powers, and Revalved front forks and hitting some hard corners....but thats me
