I have a SV650S right now, and it's OK in the twisties, but it absolutely sucks on concrete city streets or over bumps.........because it doesnt' have a true cartridge-style suspension.
What I'd like is a bike that is firm enough for the twisties, BUT absorbs bumps with as little jerking (vertical motion) as possible. All that jerking/bouncing gets really tiring on the elbows/shoulders/back/crotch.
So what bikes do you think are smoothest? Like in the 600-750 class especially. I've heard some good things about the ZX-7R, because people say it absorbs bumps mid-corner and is really stable (maybe because it's 450 lbs :laughing ). What do you think?
