That about sums it upyou loose ground clearance/suspension travel/seat height
you gain more aggressive launches/less wheelie
Don't drag racers gain something but slamming it??? I only say that most of the busa's at the strip are pretty dam low to the ground??? Not really sure myselfYou gain absolutely nothing performance wise by lowering your bike. If you like the lowered look and have no interest in performance then a lowered bike may fit your needs fine and dandy.
Instead of lowering your bike, I'd suggest you put your money into upgrading your suspension and it will pay big dividends in your riding ability!![]()

Yes its suppose to keep the front end down people say. When I Lowered mine, Didn't notice any difference. Didnt gain or lose anything. Time wasn't faster or slower.Slamming a bike at the strip is basically to have the lowest possible center of gravity making it less wheelie prone.
If the OP was a drag racer he would already know the answer to his question!Don't drag racers gain something but slamming it??? I only say that most of the busa's at the strip are pretty dam low to the ground??? Not really sure myself
As your skills improve you'll get a much better handle on the suspension issues that develop with a lowered bike!Mines lowered and have no issues for street riding.
Respectfully, it isn't as simple as, "If I was into twisties...", a superbike with a dialed in suspension for the street (at near stock height) can bring it's rider to experiences and increased skill levels that must be learned to be appreciated. And the aspects of safety and comfort are worth a seperate conversation unto themselves.Mines lowered and have no issues for street riding. If I was into twisties that might be another story,but riding hard in twisties on the street is just like buying a lottery ticket.
