(They're really only useful to keep the front end down for straight-line drag racing acceleration but dramatically diminish handling performance on twisty roads, especially with 220 or wider tires like those.) You don't see those things much on sport bikes (except at a drag strip) anywhere that twisty roads predominate as favorite riding venues, and it's no secret that twisty roads are probably rarer in Florida than in any other state.If you want a heavy dose of having your state regularly dissed for all manner of imagined (or otherwise attributable) deficiencies, try living in California (where it's pretty much undisputed that we have all manner of outstanding twisty motorcycle roads).</blockquote>
