@Floki 's bike had great front end feel with only springs and emulators. The rear stepped out more than a few times in the dry though but I was also hammering the throttle so I can be blamed for it.

The penske bike had great feel overall and felt smoother than floki's bike but the front end wasn't quite as good. This would actually be my favorite if it had emulators

I didn't ride the 102 long enough to really get a feel for it, but I know the cartridges are worth the money for racing. Outside of top pack times they're completely unnecessary though

All of the above were far superior to my stock suspension 300. I will be doing springs/emulators/gsxr shock to mine (largely because I already have the shock...otherwise I'd go penske)
