Why stretch a Crotch Rocket?

i think it looks like ass personally. trying to take a turn fast on a stretched bike ends up sliding on the swingarm and a wreck. as for the wheelies i can take off at about 7 grand and keep the front wheel anywhere i want it. its not the length of the swing arm that matters its knowing how to ride.

i used to have afew ysrs back in the day
had one with a big bore cylinder kit
and all the toomey racing parts on it
only thing not on it was the solid aluminum racing rims
that thing toped out near 80 mph
with me on it around 200 lbs
rode it to school every day
then it was stolen sucked big time
also had stock one at that time
was racing dirt track and was thinkin of road racing

ive heard of on that also had a rz350 motor in it
same motor as in a banshee

Personally I think that bike has too much of a stretch. I like them a little low and stretched a little but still under teh bike! And if I had a bike it would have to be lowered and stretched because then I would not be throwing up wheelies at every open road I get.

all i can say is that thing is really ggggaaaaayyyyyyyy!!!!! i hate extended swing arms they ride bad. they are for the people that dont ride there bike. they just like to go from one stop light to the next. i like my wheelies to much to do that to my gsxr 1000. just my 2 cents.

well the already said why. But there is a poit were is just for show like the picture that you posted. 12+ inches longer, that's just a waste of money just for show. I think it looks kind of stupid too. I saw an 550hp bike at the track and it was not extended 4foot like this one.

Russ-D that YSR is phuckin badass...get that thing back on the road. YSRs rock

they do mainly for drag racing. but here they do it mainly for the looks. they go from anywhere between 12 inches to even 20 inches extended.

I stretched and slammed my chinese pocketbike when I was bored. I welded in a motor plate for a kawasaki 56cc reeded and ported, but on a pocketbike you have to try pretty hard to pop a wheelie so it's mainly for looks.

pics andy?
