The earlier MT's had test reports of basic suspension (understandable considering the price) but still probably far more adjustment than most people will ever use in real world riding, unless they are Valentino Rossi. I am sure that most lighter/heavier people who complain about poor suspension, simply don't have it set up to suit them. But then again, I ride Kawasaki triples so anything post 1978 feels good :rollin
