Besides the blueing of the pipes that I've read about here in the forums, what are the other advantages of removing the air injection system? Are there any?

The AI is used to inject air into the cylinders to ensure unspent fuel gets burned before it hits the atmosphere and is one thing that gets these bikes to pass EPA emmision standards.
However, it also increases the temperature in the cylinders. This will definitely lead to shorter motor life due to burned cylinders, valves, etc.
A properly tuned motor will accomplish the same thing...

Well one additional advantage is that it's easier to get the spark plugs in and out, but Phil's answer is better.

I think I like the spark plug answer better!

What they all said, plus the reason the pipes blue up is the heat, so getting rid of the blueing is really lowering the heat.
