Fun comparison video. KTM vs Kawasaki

I always thought the BKing and Hayabusa shared suspension components...

I’m definitely no expert but I think frame/suspension geometry is the key. Small differences show up exponentially as speed and lean increases. I spent 2 grand on components on the FZ09 and the first time I leaned into a curve on the Tuono I thought "son of a bi**h" this is the way it's supposed to be!"

That would have been annoying for sure...

I noticed yesterday how crappy the roads are around here, they are quite rough. I have my suspension set up believe really well and I was still "pogoing" in the corners because of the rough pavement.

On smooth roads, I can get the old pig down to the pegs.

Yeah a bump, crack or even tar snakes in the middle of a hard lean will get your attention for sure lol.
Talk about pogo effect...The FZ09 stock was almost cartoonish that way. Just plain dangerous.
