Hi Folks,
I'm wondering if the shortened suspension of the 2015 Hyperstrada (130 mm vs the 2013-2014 150 mm) is a problem for aggressive cornering. I have heard that on the standard people are already grinding their centerstands during spirited riding.
The loss of 20 mm ground clearance and the changed suspension bits concerns me -- it is significant in the real world? I had to pull the centerstand on my KLR650 as it was touching down hard in corners.
I could likely find a new 2014 to retain the travel. And, of course, I want to buy the Hyperstrada really really soon. No testrides available on the 2014 in my area and in any case, the allowed test of the 2015 was too tame to test this.
