By all reports Aprilia has got it pretty right. Heaps of adjustability in damping etc is great to have, if you use it, but frankly the vast majority of riders really only play with preload and have no idea what they are doing with rebound and compression damping adjustments. There have been rumours of a 1200 version! _________________ It's all part of the adventure!
