No, you are right thinking that, technically that should be the case - only eventually the bike starts to feel soggy regardless... of course that might just be the fact it weighs 180+Kg (plus fuel, plus luggage, plus you) and the suspension specification is 'modest'...

Like I say, for the sort of riding this bike was intended for, it is pretty near perfect out of the crate... it's only if you start to 'push the envelope' to coin a Top-Gun-esque phrase...

All together now, na na na, na na, na na na naaaaaa... na na na, na na na, na na, naaa na naaaaaa...
