My '96 850R currently has a pretty stiff racing suspension on it. It has great control and is extremely fun to drive, but my city has absolutely terrible roads, and every bump makes me fear for my control arms/tie rods. What kind of suspension/shocks/springs should I get so that I be like a rally car - great handling but able to handle terrible/off-road conditions?
