I would think for cosmetic reasons. I think it distracts from the beauty of the motorcycle, but you do see them on stunt bikes quite a bit. As far as the ride...I don't know how eady/difficult the cage makes it.

A cage will stop you from taking corners hard. You will end up hitting the cage on the ground. And a cage says "I stunt" to cops. I would say if you are going to take hard corners, go with race rails. If you are just going to do wheelies and ride fast in a straight line than go with a cage. They do their job when it comes to it.
