serious answer: BMX bikes don't have them for the same reason motorcross motorcycles don't have them. They will get in the way and may cause you to crash. They are meant to hold a bike up that doesn't have a rider. If I am on it, then I don't need a kickstand.

gc8 Member. slicks are not for drift, wouldn't recommend. I did tried semi slicks on 280bhp, it's all good while they cold, although when you warm them up, you get grip a lot more than you can think of, also you get higher load for clutch which is not so good mate.. I wouldn't recommend any of those.

Comfort is really good for the rider and the pillion has enough room to fit. If you need power and torque, then NO. Beyond 80 kph, the bike doesn't want to pull anymore and takes a long long time to touch 100. Fuel efficient, can return upto 53 kmpl but overtakes are not fast enough.

If the former, you can set up your handlebars a little higher so that you aren't leaning too far down when in the areos. If speed over short distances, then drop the bars as much as you can and start working on that flexibility. But overall, yes they do make a difference, in feel, comfort (for good or bad) and speed.
