Different strokes for different folks. My dad had kawasakis growing up and now has a kz650 and kz1000 I love the look of the 1970's drag bikes and I thought it would be cool to have a modern version of that since the bike looks old. So that's why I wanna do this but I want it to function as well as I like to race it's fun it's only on an 1/8th of a mile but it's not to say I won't race on a 1/4 miles. As for my avatar bike it's the first street bike I bought in boxes it was a stock cb650 but I took the seat faring off a 83 nighthawk and put on it and jetted the carbs pod filters and a 4 into 1 open header drag bars removed the signals and put a led taillight on it nothing to extreme but it's loud and I love to ride it.
It's kinda like taking my type 3 VW and building a 2 liter to put in it do you need to? No but it sure is a lot more fun when I do.
I understand what you mean with the other bikes being more suited for the job but I like to be different and I like this bike.

What's next, take a Ninja and make it a tourer like a Gold Wing?
