What kind of fucking retard would slam and stretch that bike anyway? The commentary made me want to break someone's jaw...

What's the difference between slamming that bike and a 'Busa or ZX-14?

The same thing would be me putting a sand paddle on my GSXR, taking it to Glamis and jumping it 300 feet down a sand dune.

I dont see any problem with stretched swing arms on actual drag bikes. It serves a valid purpose.

This. Virtually no vehicle is manufactured with drag racing in mind. They all had to be modified in one way or another...

Wait I know... the bike is already too "iconic" to be modified.

Well if you're going to modify a bike for drag, why wouldn't you start with a Busa or ZX14? They are cheaper, more stable, more torquey, and have more mods available.
