Ive been thinking about suspension and how it affects the handling of a bike.
take a gsxr 600 vs a sv650. from looking online they both have a smilar weight, but due to the gsxr having better spec suspension parts it handles better. So if you put the same quality gear on the SV - front end swap and a proper shock made for the bike, i get the impression that the SV would still be out handled by the gsxr.
why is this? is it do with sprung/unsprung weight? or other factors? would changing both wheels and forks would make the unsprung weight about the same, making them handle about the same?
what would be needed to be done to the SV to make it handle as well as a modern ish 600? or is it just impossible (within reason) if it is impossible, why?
This is all hypothetical, im not trying to do anything to my bike, just get a better understanding of what it is that helps me go around corners
