Not a trap at all. Fact is that most people don't know how to ride and will not feel the difference in suspension. More true for the V-twin crowd. Sport bike riders are more in tune with their rides.
Do you disagree?
Yep, I disagree. If you leave your house on a Motorsickle, and you make it back home on your Motorsickle, you can ride a Motorsickle. Suspension is a personal thing, to me, anyway. Myself, I like a soft ride, which makes for more movement in the Swinger-Arm to adapt to the condition, or contour, or whatever, of the pavement. Gives me more control of the Motorsickle, as opposed to a stiff, or rigid, or in the matter of that junk HD puts on 'em, which will hop, if comin' into, or in a curve, hot. Almost got hurt with that junk, and it could've been worse than that! Got rid of that chit the first time, and have used Progressives ever since. My buds, here, tell me Ohlins are better, and they may be, but I can't say, 'cause I ain't tried 'em. Prolly will, next time. I learned a long time ago to pick and choose who I ride with. I steer clear of the rookies, and the drunks. There are some out there that in my opinion don't belong on a Motorsickle. But that don't mean they can't ride one. I don't claim to be a pro, but I, and the ones I ride with, can keep one between the ditches, and at times, at speeds the cartoon bikers only said they got up to, but didn't. As for the jap bike riders.......up here their idiots. Bless their hearts. I don't know what they're "in Tune" with, but it ain't the same tunes I'm listenin' to. There endeth the lesson.
