When Honda design bikes do they have an 'ideal' or average height / weight rider and then factor in differences through suspension settings/fork oil weight etc? For example I imagine they wouldn't set the bike up in an ideal world with a 40kg rider or a 100+kg rider, maybe something in the middle?
Good question Aussie, and good answer CBXBob and well filled out by Red Mist. Makes ya think, doan it.

Cheers I have found a very nice sweet spot with this bike, me being about the right weight and size for the suspension as delivered (the bike, that is). Going to the 150/70 rear tire helped with cornering clearance and handling by putting a touch more weight on the front tire. Bumping the rear suspension to #3 of 5 really made it right, it don't scrape no more. I also changed the fork oil to an (approximate) 15 wt.
At this point I'm pretty happy with it.
However, I will be doing the reflash, which I am sure will turn it into a bona fide beast. Look out, man!
