Anyone know why supersports have inverted forks? Doesn't that expose more of the debris-sensitive area and put more weight up high? Even Buell does it as part of their "mass centralization" trilogy of tech mantra but it seems that normal positioning with the bulk of the weight just above the tire would be more "central" when it comes to leaning.
