Default thermostat or no thermostat

what would be the positive and negative of removing the thermostat and running the bike without it? i have had to replace a bad thermostat already once on the bike and it kinda seems like it is doing it again.

i was sitting at a light yesturday and the temp gauge got up to about 3/4 and the fan kicked on. when i go to pull away from the light the needle goes all the way to the top into the red and a little past it. as i drive it comes down pretty quickly but next light does it again. it wasn't that hot out yesterday some where in the 80's and i wasn't driving the bike hard. there isn't air trapped in the radiator either.

any thoughts or suggestions?
