what differentiates a good suspension from a bad one.

152 viewsEngineeringOther

In case it matters, I am talking specifically about motorcycle suspensions, although I assume the principles are the same.
Everyone says that when you get serious about track day riding, you first upgrade your suspension. All else comes after.

For the record, I couldn’t find anything online answering my question.
