Your answer is in every bike dealership in the world.

Can you be more specific? Are you saying that every bike sold today has better anti-dive properties than Suzuki's old anti-dive forks?

While forks are much better than they were 20 years ago, I'm not prepared to say that they couldn't benefit from an electronic anti-dive system.

I actually owned one of those 1100s with the anti-dive. The system didn't work. Modern systems are substantially improved.

The antidive idea was a decent idea. Softer springs for comfort and stifness when you needed it. Too bad, it would stop working 15 feet outside of a dealer. They were pure garbage.

Todays setups with progressive springs are much better.
