Hehe, I'm enjoying the fact that in our garage the yellow curvy practically glows in the dark compared to everything else....probs won't be the case when I come back but that's ok

Not entirely true. Good quality suspension makes for a better ride. Some people buy it because they think it will make them a riding god but all it does is make them a slightly less rich riding numpty. Quality suspension set up correctly rides the lumps and bumps better than most stock shocks and forks ever will, so the rider will notice a positive difference even if their riding doesn't improve as a result.

Having said that, my mate Danny is leading the Hottrax Michelin Power Cup 600 series on a 2009 ZX6R with absolutely bog stock suspension - no fancy shock or forks, just out of the crate stuff that's been properly set up... and a bog standard engine/ecu etc.

Those of us with fists of ham and fingers of butter need good suspension to go fast

Its well known that the Curvy SV has suspension of equal standard to the 2009 ZX6.

Well quite, as you know both my SVs have had upgraded suspension of some description that didn't cost the earth, and is adequate for the massive lumps and bumps around here, and yes there is a positive improvement for my way of riding, and Chris set it up lovely for my weight, but what I have ain't what everyone says you should have, as it was made to be a replacement for stock, and not for something else.
As for the bit in bold, well I was being polite, but you pretty much wrote what i was thinking in the post you replied to
