True enough, a chopper style bike like Dupo's is probably not as quick and maneuverable as a stock shadow, BUT, I would bet money that it is twice as stable and safe going down the highway doing 70 just because of the wheelbase difference alone. So just like a car or anything else, you have to give up something to gain something, Plus it looks real cool too :2tup: .

And even if you are an motorcycle design engineer you are not going to make a stretched out model of a bike handle as good as its more compact wheel-based twin, its just not going to happen, that would be like trying to make a limo handle like the stock car that it was based on.
