Streetbikes are usually delivered with suspension stiff enough to deal with a heavy rider and a too-heavy passenger, and aren’t close to being what would produce the best handling for a solo, average-sized rider. Which is why track riders are often amazed, reporting dramatically improved handling, stability, and lap times after having front and rear sag checked and adjusted for the first time.
