It me.
The improvement in comfort is worth it. Ducati are commonly too harsh for our roads and the stock hardware offers insufficient adjustment. The Ohlins equipped Ducati models are set up for the track and are very harsh. To get any level of comfort they need rebuliding to a more suitable spec.
An Ohlins improved the Hornet amazingly. My Ducati came with a spring to suit a midget, the Ohlins as supplied was far too harsh at Ducati specs, softened it was brilliant. The Triumph is a much nicer ride with the Ohlins fitted.
It's about more than the just the inherent sport riding limitations.
