Pointy suspension & brake upgrades?

Interesting stuff!

I love it when a bike comes out and it gets slated by the press as an evil handling dog, or whatever. I bought an XJR1300 in 1999 when they first were updated from the 1200 model. The press said it was a dinosaur and handled like a barge.
It's a heavy, steel framed, air cooled beast with twin rear shocks and a basic front end, pre load only adjustment.

I reckon the journos are a bunch of primadonnas at best.

Monstrous lump of a motor hanging from a steel frame and a set of twin shocks... what were they expecting a TZR250...

I'd guarantee that a poll would show that the majority would choose front end improvement. Wether they need it or not is another matter entirely! ;)
Depends what you mean by "need". I'd prefer to say "benefit from".

Both my running SV's would "benefit" from a supercharger, but I doubt they'll be getting one!
