Take it from me cuz I found
If you leave it then somebody else is bound,
To find that treasure, that moment of pleasure,
When yours, it could have been.

Because each to their own? Universal Japanese Motorcycle. I agree with you on many points but in many ways changing things to upgrade the performance if one so desires is up to the individual. The seat on these bikes is really lacking in the comfort area if you ride long distance. My sergeant saddle makes all the difference in a 1000 mile ride. If I ride my LTD seat that many miles I'm gonna be really sore the next day even before that. As far as the geometry? Yeah, I don't understand why everyone wants to stretch their bikes to limo status. But many like the dragbike look. To each their own I say. But there are many mods that do make the bike perform better than OEM. Those fuse boxes? Better tech is out now, the saddles, I like my corbin saddle. Firm is more comfy. Grips are totally personal preference. I like those Driven D3 grips and I also always wear gloves when I ride.

If the Kawasaki would work better with 3" diameter foam grips, or looked better with a "nice" paintjob like some of them I see on the group, or worked better with the fenders removed, 12" extended swingarms, chainguards removed, goofy humpback/touring seats ect, why in the hell didn't Kawasaki build them that way!!
Because they don't work better that way is the simple answer, and they don't look better either putting it in mild words.
