It's good enough for city driving
I bought it directly from the US when the yen was low. It was in the low 70,000 yen range including shipping.
When I purchased the car, I told them my weight, number of passengers, etc. and had it set up before it was shipped. I was Sometimes I ride with two people." I asked them to set the weight of the bike to the weight of one person, but I don't really recommend it. I would definitely recommend that you have the weight of one person set up, since you will be riding alone more often than not.
The OEM suspension of the VTR1000F FIRESTORM was not to my liking no matter how much I adjusted both the compression and rebound sides, but this suspension has a very smooth and supple movement, and I can really feel the ground feel and high road-following ability. R1Series is considered to be the cheapest version, but for city driving and touring level, I think the performance is good enough to make up for it.
The disadvantage is that the rebound and compression sides cannot be adjusted separately. It is not suitable for those who want to set the suspension very strictly, since it only comes with a 1-way adjuster for both effects.
However, this Setting mechanism is Simple. This is very attractive for light users. It is a lot of fun to find the setting you like as you play with the Adjuster, which is easy to turn. It's all in the settings that make it so much easier to turn." This is because it is easy to experience the excitement of "I'm so impressed" by your own hands. If the extensor and compressor were separate, you might end up messing up the settings if you do not understand them very well, but with this, you do not have to worry about that.
What I personally really like is that the pre-road adjustment is very easy to do. Many suspension systems use a hook wrench to turn the adjuster, but I don't like to use that because it is very difficult to do. On the other hand, with this suspension, it is about twice as easy to adjust with the included special device as it is with the Hook wrench, so it is really easy to touch. I really appreciate it.
When you think of Suspension replacement, OHLINS may be the first thing that comes to mind, but VTR1000F FIRESTORM is the OEM Spring color of Color:Since it is yellow, it is hard to tell that it has been customized if it is OHLINS. Therefore, I personally like Spring in turquoise-blue, which is easily recognizable as NITRON at a glance.
