I see a lot of bikes like that in my area. Mostly Hayabusa's and GSX-R's and always on the highway with huge chicken strips and flat spots. In my opinion its a waste of a sport bike on the street but it doesn't really bother me to the point where I'm gonna tell them they should switch back to the factory swing arm. Ive had people park next to me with them at meets though and start talking to me about the bike and Ill tell them its not my taste but I never try to offend them or anything. They can do what they want to it and at the end of the day there still on two wheels.

People do this to these bike cause they like how it looks, and would rather have a show bike then a race bike. IMO i think it looks cool to look at, i would never do that to mine cause i like to turn lol. But it goes to the same as why do people ride hard tail choppers, they look cool, might have a tone of power that is never used, but thats about it.

I used to live near a town called Watsonville, CA. Watsonville is a small farming community, consisting mostly of Mexicans. Watsonville has their share of low riders. I think low riders are cool as fvck, but I wouldn't own one, to each his/her own.

This bike looks cool, but I wouldn't own one. Why bash others because they have different tastes?
