FWIW the Penske is fully the equal of the Ohlins. I bought the Ohlins
because at the time I was able to get it from Wim Kroon for WAY less
than US retail. Also it's been my experience that stock shocks don't
hold up. Anyone price a stock Triumph replacement.. not cheap. Also
keep in mind that the place that most manufacturers skimp when
building a bike is suspension. For anyone who's never ridden a bike
with an Ohlins (or Penske) setup right you just can't imagine how
much more confidence inspiring it is to ride.
