    Only if it's had an after-market conversion, which were probably
    available for the S's too.

    So, what's been done to it and how do you rate the handling? Mine was
    completely standard and absolutely rock steady, at least at my speeds,
    but took far too much weight on the bars to turn it, which I never got on
    with, especially in the wet. I deeply regret never trying a higher
    profile rear tyre though; I'm sure that would've helped.

    I was initially going to get another "S" but the ones available were all
    standard shocks and had obviously had hard lives. This one is a 2000
    with 14k miles and very well looked after. It has the standard rotary
    damper but having done about a 1000 miles on it now i would say it is a
    lot better than a standard "S" suspension. I'm not ruling out a Maxton
    makeover in the future though.

    Jo is still riding her CBF600, to be honest I quite like riding it too,
    but don't tell her that :)... very flickable
