You California Norton riders sure are a quiet lot. There was a lot more traffic on here when the first 10 bikes hit the US ! :?:

"a big upgrade"..... really? I have the Sport with normal forks and can't imagine a 961 handling any better. I've seen reports/test ride mags report back with the 961 having 'slow steering', mine doesn't have this 'slow' stuff but then the mag's did test the USD fork model.
der said:for a superbike engine it would look a 'big upgrade' but the 961 is putting out a claimed 80hp not 180hp! I've done 4k miles on my standard fork 961 and would say the Brembo's fitted to mine are a slight overkill given the engine braking and that the standard Ohlin's are just fabulous for this type of bike. Would love to hear what people who have tried both forks think of the difference.
