if i was really worried about that....

Oh jeeze - are you one of those "suspension doesn't really matter on the street" guys?


That blue Booofa is mighty tasty looking too - though I'm not a big fan of the gold wheels, even though they to 'work' with the blue.

.

at 1 point and time in my riding career i woulda cared. nowadays i don't. i do have racetech springs in the ft of the VFR.

but for commuting i'd get it set up as much as possible for my weight, and call it good.

the 'busa OTOH is already set up for my weight w/ ft springs oil and a rear spring.

Bear in mind, the stock RC is somewhat oversprung & harsh for a 'normal' weight rider, and the full ohlins setup absolutely transforms it into a much better feeling/handling bike - trust me.

I dont believe you. I'd like to try it out for myself. Who's got one I can ride?

Well, you could come check mine out, but it got a little extra hot one night....

But with full-coverage that I almost dropped since I'd turned the tag back in prior to selling.... jacko
