I know with suspension you are always chasing youre tail , limited by budget and compromises. I have 3 bikes , a Bimota DB8, Ducati 1098s track only, and my favorite Ducati 1098SF (base). The Bimota had woefully underdone sus. I put a Matris cartridge kit into the Marzzochi front forks and an Ohlins TTX in the rear , The 1098s is just stock but the geometry spot on. The Streetfighter has Showa but doesnt feel smooth, (hasnt had oil changed yet at 17000km). Maybe this hasnt helped? It feels like its not moving freely enough. (Gets ridden to hard to soften up).
