Yup, my stock SV suspension is way better than I am, sum total of my suspension 'tuning' is to replace fork oil with 10 weight to soften the ride a bit. Stock suspension set up for highly variable roads rather than track racing is always gonna be a compromise 'jack of all trades'.
Years ago somebody asked me if they should get a British or Jap motorbike, I just said if you have an account with an oil company and AA Relay membership and enjoy being in your garage fixing bikes, get a Brit bike - but if you like trouble-free riding get a Jap one.

In a world of increasingly obese people the ones who watch their weight are becoming rarer - while waiting outside Tesco for my wife ( only one of us went into store at a time during lockdown ) I am shocked at the number of basically reaaaaaally fat people waddling along in the queue ( I would like to know if the 2 metre safe distance is measured from tip of nose or front of belly ) - your bike may have been designed for one of them, but I doubt any of them could lift a leg high enough to get on and off the bike...
