"The adjustment on the forks for compression and rebound are on different forks such as they've done with the new kwaka Z1000. This they did to keep the cost down I'm guessing."


This is done on several full-race machines - not at all a cost-cutting feature. Just due to frame/fork rigidity plus makes tuning a bunch easier (no more "off a click on the right"). Duc's doing this on the nearly $75,000 D16 so I doubt it has anything to do with cost at all.

The S3 is a great all-rounder - makes the right sounds, pretty decent handling, and absolutely gnarly in all respects. Even decent as a light-tourer (600 miles a day, no problems). Wheelies and power slides have never looked so good
