depends on what the bike is being used for if it is a hot-rod/ drag bike it is to allow really good weight transfer for traction, if it is more of a street bobber/chopper it is usally for looks or to easily lower the rear end of the bike.

As for me I hate my teeth and am trying very hard to shake them out of my head. I belive riding a hardtail is the best way to do this.
