They've been modified in a way that makes them just plain unstable, or not turn/brake/maneuver as well as stock. Hard tail means your tire can't follow anything but a perfect road surface. Ape Hangers means you can't perform efficient steering inputs. Front brake delete to "make it look cleaner" robs you of 60%+ of your braking ability (80%+ on a standard or sportbike).Most of the mods that I did to me ER6n, the last bike that I owned, were to improve its utility. I took that $9K motorcycle and put $4K worth of suspension onto it. Flat dirt bike bars for better hand position and more leverage when turning. An original Kawasaki windscreen, from the UK (not available in North America), for comfort and weather protection. Also more luggage space than a Smart Car, for touring, but that also let me cobble together a secondary and higher mounted brake light, plus wider and more visible turn signals (<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g2mWMTXsv6M" target="_blank">Video Here</a>).[ATTACH=full]406175[/ATTACH]</blockquote>
