Which front suspension seems to work best for you, the conventional forks eg UZ125 suzuki, or the pivot link suspension as on the Vespas.

I think this sounds like an interesting topic. Especially as I have been trying to tune a a conventional front fork arrangement & am not totally sure about the results.
I have ridden bikes with pivot link suspension, but I think I have much to learn here.
Hope someone else has some ideas. :niceone:

I think its fairly clear that the conventional telescopic fork reached the pinnacle of its development in the Suzuki UZ125. I heard that HRC were fitting them to the RC212V, unaltered, and just putting Showa stickers on them because they cannot be surpassed in terms of compliance or performance.
