HOLY POOP!

You know... At that point, why don't they just throw GSXR bodywork on a quad and call it a day?

What are the driving dynamics of such a fat tire setup?

Obviously, it's gonna be slow...but is this any advantage on the highway in terms of smoothness? Stability? Ride comfort?

I mean, sure it looks like ass, but does it ride like ass in every single capacity, or is there any arguable advantage to such a setup?

I understand that customization is a very personal thing, and just because I think it's stupid, doesn't mean it doesn't float someone else's boat...I'm just wondering if ANY argument can be made in the defense of such a modification as having improved characteristics in ANY way?

...Or is it just ugly, and dangerous?

You're thinking with the wrong head, chief. 22 yr olds do this to their bikes for one reason only.

I hear a 330 kit eats about 40rwhp, so it could be argued that it makes the bike better for beginners.
