Just a comment but I have generally been ok with rear monoshock bikes as supplied by the maufacturer. I am
sure they can all be improved if you want to pay for upgrading the suspension, but the trouble i have had was with bikes with twin rear shocks which were just unacceptable as original equipment. The moto guzzi v7.2 was particularly bad. I met other riders who had upgraded front and rear suspension and one was pleased with the result but it had cost him about £1,000. The local suspension specialist I saw quoted £700 but I think that was just for the rear suspension.
