    Thanks for the update. The tie rod design is quite interesting with the left rear connection being totally different than the other 3 points. Any engineers around who could give some insight into that arrangement or was Max blowing smoke up our butts?

    You know... one would really need to get their hands on one themselves. And to report after a couple of thousand miles.

    Personally I am a little leery of those tie rods but Honda engineering I think would have thought it through pretty well.

    The devil is in longevity down the road.

    I would not let one or two posts influence any decisions about the new suspension on the 2018's at this point...As willtill has posted, lets have a few riders get some real world miles on these things for a while and then take a look!!!...Some of us are clearly "rushing to judgment" way to early in my opinion....I an sure that Honda has a pretty good handle on what they are doing.....Ride safe
