I think the R is a good road/commuter/possible green lane bike, than a dirt bike ... Not an expert myself but many people who have tried it off road say that it is not particularly suitable.

From my point of view I intend to use it for 'mucking about' and some B road/green lane type touring, and for those purposes stiffer suspension would be a benefit.

I disagree that suspension needs to be quick to dive, to be good off road, my Range Rover suspension is excellent on and off road so I don't see why a it can't be made firmer whilst still working well 'off road'.

Just my 0.02p :-)
