The 900SE handles better? I'm intrigued. Is this as a result of it being an 'SE' as opposed to an 'S', or a function of it being a '98 instead of a '96 model year? To put it another way, was the suspension (or whatever) improved between the two model years, or does the SE simply designed with a more highly-spec'ed suspension (resulting in a better ride)? I have a '96 900S, which I love dearly, although I must say that sometimes it feels like it just might tip over on some bends. Is it possible to upgrade the suspension on a '96 'S' to the '98 'SE' standard? Many thanks for any enlightenment on the matter.
