It did dive under hard braking but those forks and shocks sure soaked up the hard stuff at slow to moderate speeds. Hard suspension doesn't run wide at higher speeds on bumpy corners and there is a reason why MotoGP riders get their suspension redialed for many tracks. - I liked my 02 FZ1 which had fully adjustable front and rear suspension. I'd mess with all the settings, all the way one way and then all the way to the other and then slightly back on the end I liked.
As did my 2002 Sportster 1200 Sport.
Eventually I ended up with all settings in the middle.
Perhaps because I am the same rider weight as is generally used for testing, such as stopping distances.
The FZ01 was an impressive machine, with 3500 more RPM, most power 8K-12K, high compression.

The FZ09 is also amazing for its engine size.
