But maybe I'm wrong here, especially if there are customs options like cool colors etc. available.
The point is that NJS frames are not built for street, they are churned out very quickly and built specifically to be ridden for a short time on a smooth track. In the words of Watanabe San himself they are even dangerous. I wouldn't go as far as agreeing they are dangerous, I ride an njs frame and feel safe but there is defiantly allot of room for improvement especially in the forks.
