Yeh, it's not that it's faster than anything else...because it definitely aint...it just feels so sublime and I have to put it down to the front end which as we all know separates the steering mechanicals from the suspension...and braking forces don't affect the suspension like they do with forks either...

However.....the closest I have seen has been the VFR and my 929 (hence the reason I bought the 929). Honda's steering is just SOOO neutral and well balanced that while it's not GTS-stable, it is still quite nice. I ride the GTS HARD (hard points and bags ave touched down...), because it CAN be, and I expect the same out of a traditional front end. Most forked bikes just feel way too twitchy, but I have gotten quite comfortable/confident on the 929. -Darren ====================================================================================== NOTICE - This communication may contain confidential and privileged information that is for the sole use of the intended recipient.
