Everyone has a right to their personal tastes...isn't that the point of owning a bike so that you can modify it to suit your likes...I like a short, low, clean paintwork, and fat ass tire on the rear...some people like theirs modded for the drag strip, some for the twisties, and some to just wow people with a show bike. I think when my bike is done it should at least cover the showbike and dragstrip fairly well. There isn't many road racing tracks around here, not that I race anymore, but to each their own, its about enjoying your bike the way you make it for yourself.
