[QUOTE="CJF-FJR, post: 1184370, member: 87106"] I ride one-up all the time but like the versatility of the ES anyway. I do a lot of just "fun riding" that might involve multiple types of roads. So, on a fast back road I set it one way, and when I get to the twisty fun road I can set it to something else with a flip of a switch, and when I have to hit the slab to make some time getting home I can set it to full soft to be more comfortable on the highway, all from my seat. In the olden days I would spend a lot of time getting the right "sporty" setting on my bike, only to have it feel like my kidneys were going to bleed if I hit a bad stretch of road. It might not be that hard to change the suspension, but who really stops at the side of the road to make a suspension change before you get on the highway. If you are going to ride the bike a lot and have the money, I think it is worth it. [/QUOTE]
