See, I would disagree. I think suspension is designed around a whole number of things - the amount of power the engine is putting through the rear wheel, swingarm angle, suspension linkages and (as you say) rake and trail, weight distribution, frame design etc. Given enough time, you could mod any suspension component to fit the SV i.e at the extreme end of the scale, shoe-horning some SBK forks onto an RS125, is not going to make it handle like a superbike!

Handle better? probably - just not the same
