Re: 2014 Zero S handling characteristics

I just went through a round of suspension mods on my Honda 919: rebuilt the forks with 0.9 springs, lighter fork oil, adjusted the preload, lowered the tubes on the triple-tree, adjusted the rear preload... well I'm reporting this here because after a week of riding that bike, I jumped back on the zero and I have to say the zero suspension works great in comparison. Not talking so much about the bike handling, but just it's ability to soak up small bumps while maintaining stability. The 919 has stability, but is over-damped and just has no small bump absorption. So I feel no need to upgrade the suspension on the zero, it seems to work great compared to any bike I've owned (although, that's not saying a whole lot...)
