I look at this as a run what you brung kind of situation. When the wife and I used to do motorcycle rallies I used to ride in all the bike games. My full dress 80" bagger was no match for a chopped out rigid with a 100" STD and a 250 on the back in a normal drag race. Heck he would be across the line before I made my first gear change. But in a 20/40? yard dirt drag or an old man's home on hard pack all I needed was to keep her from spinning to badly on the launch to beat a lot of guys, and I ran the bike I rode in on.
Well, this is the bike I got, and I ain't buying a new one real soon.
