as for the OP, the super's mid controls might give it the edge as far as rider control. The FB wheels and front tire appear to give it an edge as far as bike handling.

Ricor is a manufacturer of suspension components. He was referring to a suspension upgrade along with installing a True-track system.

Ricor sells suspension components that feature an inertial valve that responds quickly to road input, but impedes movement from chassis input. This results in your tires spending more time in contact with the pavement and all but eliminates brake dive. If you're really interested you can read more on Ricor's web-site.

Disclaimer: I have no vested interest in selling Ricor parts, I just know what they have done for my ride. From all that I have read here on HDF Ohlins products are at least as good. Don't just take my word for it, this Forum has an excellent Search function.

With TruTrak and Ricor front and back the FB is a blast to throw into the twisties but it aint no rocket. The dual disk brakes, drag bars, and 16" wheels give FB a slight edge but neither bike could be considered a knee dragger. No matter how good you are they're just too heavy.

Yeah I miss knee draggin sometimes. I'm a former Ninja rider.
