Lol. that's kind of the point. I've never felt the rear lacking - almost too good in fact. And because I rarely use it other than to calm the rear down a touch going into bends (on the track) I just personally wouldn't want it being any more 'direct' in feel than it already is with the old rubber hose in situ. It's not an issue for me, and I just tend not to make mods of any kind unless I feel that I could really benefit from the results. That's the reason my track 3XV still runs completely stock R type suspension. It's still better than I am, so why throw Ohlins or whatever at it until I feel that the suspension is a limiting factor? I've done a number of trackdays where you see all the lads with the Ohlins this, titanium that on their big fours, but those boys are usually dog slow, because they've never learned how to really ride a bike properly, and make the most of limited power, dubious handling or whatever. They seem to just think that throwing expensive components at it ('hey, it's just like Rossi's') means they are going to go quicker, when in fact if they put the big bike away and took an old RD125 round they'd prbasbly improve their lap times much, much more than just reaching for the credit card.
'Course, on the other hand it could just be that I'm a tightwad Yorkshireman of course
