My .02:
Me= #175 "Expert" :silly: off-roader
I'll only quantiify what I've had enough seat time on to have an opinion about.
Best: '01 CR250 I personally don't feel it's too harsh for me. Guess I just like a lot of "feedback" ....:confused:
Worst(in last 10 yrs): '91 DR350

My best to date is my 00 YZ426..very confidence inspiring and has saved my butt a few times. Although I can't froget my '87 CR250. The suspension was excellent on that bike. Especially the forks.

My favorite stock suspension was my 98 KTM 380 forks, and least favorite was my 380s shock!! Till I machined the needle in it!

150 pound B rider.
Best:1996 KX125. I loved this thing. I wish I could have its suspenders on all my bikes.
Worst:1994 XR80, but if that does not count, then I would have to go with my 99KX125. Horrible box stock. Took alot of overspringing to get it to holdup itsa own weight. Switched to non progressive springs and problem was fixed.

185lbs. Begginer(fast)/freestyle(very little)
um worst suspension has to go to my friends 1998 Yamaha RT180 hitting a little bump will bottom it out. I also with kawi the 1999 kx125 needs a little work to get it feelin good.
But the best I would have to say 2001 Rm 250 thats feels good.

my fav's in this order and they happen to be my last 3 bikes
1st '01 CR125 sweet! sums it up.
2nd '02 YZ125 very close to the CR's the cr is just alittle more plusher
3rd '86 CR125 modfied by pro circuit they was awesome could almost compare to bikes of today but I hated the shock.
My worst shocks 1980 RM125 forks were okay, but the worn out fox shox's on the rear sucked! you could bottom them over a bubble gum wrapper.
My worst forks 1980 KDX 250 were to soft you could bottom them under heavy braking! but the shocks would never bottom heh!
