I’ll agree the earlier bike is a bit harsh on hard impacts.
I’d imagine it is difficult to design ‘soft’ enough to move quickly and absorb in such cases but not be mush when rode aggressively.
(see brake dive into turns mentioned above somewhere)
And not even taking weight differences into factor.
That being said, I wonder if we all wouldn’t be surprised if we could get off our CB and onto whatever our favorite older bike was from decades ago.
All I can tell you from my first hand experience is I put the 2017 forks on my bike and it is much more comfortable to me.
So much so that I then became critical of the rear and put Koni shocks on. Again a noticeable improvement- even the wife acknowledges.
