A mod too far?

Each to their own and all that but I really can't for the life of me
see why they do this to perfectly good sportsbikes. A 'Busa maybe but
a 1000 and 750, what a waste of two perfectly good bikes.

 

You didn't notice the crash helmets attached to the front wheels then?

Or maybe it's the elongated swingarms...

 

Take a look at the swingarms, not quite as Mr. Suzuki intended.

The mentality amazes me that people will buy a bike that handles like
a GSXR1000 or 750 then do that to them.

 

Your ignorance of why an extended swinging arm can be an improvement is very
clear.

 

Come on then Ten Kate, how would an extended swing arm improve the
handling of a GSXR1000?

 

Don't be such a fucking retard.

 

Give the bloke a chance Daz, I'm dying to hear this explanation.

 

Your ignorance is even more clear to me now.

 

"It stops it wheelying like a bastard, slows you down around corners and
improves straight line stability"

 

Here's a clue

I know it'll stop a drag bike from lifting at the front as it races
down a strip but how will it improve the handling of a GSXR1000?

 

A GSX-R 600 makes approx 100bhp - it will (sort of) lift the front wheel in
first and second gear without the clutch - thereafter it needs to be
clutched up.

It has no problem applying close to maximum throttle when pulling away -
therefore how does extending the swingarm improve the performance in a way
that outweighs the loss of cornering ability the extended swing arm causes?

 

Errrrr! It will stop the bike from lifting at the front as it races down a
strip!
It also increases rear tyre grip.

 

Thanks, you've proven my initial thoughts about you were correct.

The surroundings in that photo look distinctly like a car park [1] not
a drag strip so *please* tell me why the **** would you do that to a
*road* bike?

[1] Just to confirm this...

How stupid can a person be?
Are you really so fucking stupid?
You would do that to a road bike to make straight line acceleration faster!

Your amazing comments could also apply to this image:

Oh finally I find a use for the bozo bin feature.

Oh I dunno. To do that seems a waste of a perfectly good muppet to me.

 

3 of em have done it, so presumably one did it, the other two tried that
bike, liked it and
did it to theirs. I guess if you try it and you like it.. do it, other wise,
leave well alone

 

Power is only 1 factor.

There are many straight roads in the UK.
Who said "straight line stability is more important"?
