Hello! I just come back from a small round through the Palatinate and Rheinhessen and have had a lot of different road surfaces on my approx. 200km – from new asphalt over cobblestones in the village to bitumen patchwork and “patchwork” street ceilings, garnished with floor waves and frost cracks. Since I am a beginner and my experience with it only on my current mopped (V-Strom 650, a travel enduro or “Sports Adventure Bike”, like Suzuki the little ne nnt), I would have a question: How do drivers of SSP motorcycles or other, more sportyly coordinated machines cope with such changing ground? I was quite happy with some small connecting roads between the Rhine-hessian wine villages to have relatively long suspension routes – and in a parallel thread, Pistengangster dared to ride a BMW as a Ducati driver and noticed the difference to his machines there too; he said “Di It’s not as hard on the road as I’m used to with my current machines.” Therefore, my question: Does the bad ground really work out noticeably stronger due to the tighter suspension of the SSPler or do the suspensions iron out more than I can possibly imagine as a beginner?
