This was posted up on another forum. Worth wasting a few minutes of your life on.

Enjoyed the review but....


..wtf is it with 'stock' suspension?

Nearly every bike off the production line suffers for it, why don't they fit decent for a start?

His description of the stock suspension on the Bonnie sounds exactly like my Street Triple's. It really is bad, maybe I should have bought the 'R'.

Yup, been there, got the t-shirt. Fitted a Nitron shock to mine when I had one, transformed the bike.

Doesn't answer ytf they skimp on suspension on stock though.
