Back then, Honda would put soft shocks and banana seats on the bikes being raced at the tracks, but the track bikes have all the good stuff, of course.

WTF?!
The hell was Honda thinking about when they designed this? Little people, girls, and pre-pubescent boys would be riding this?

I'm not a terribly big guy. 175/180lbs - 190/195lbs fully geared up.

Honda set-up a suspension with a 140lbs GROWN MAN in mind.
I mean I know Japanese people tend to be smaller and lighter, but that's just bad planning man. Terribly bad and stupid.
