It's not so much an FZ vs MT question, but an old vs new one. Newer = better suspension.

In any case they're all MT now.

I went fairly budget on my 2015. Base model Penske out back, different springs & oil up front. (Both spec'ed by Stoltec.) I'm quite happy with the Penske, but if I had it to do over again I'd probably go with the cartridge emulators in the front.

Back in the day (mid-70s) Honda had MT-125 /175/250s. Street legal dirt bikes, 2nd cousins to the CR Elsinore motocrossers. They had horrid chocolate colored engines.

We called 'em "empties".

This bit of trivia brought to you by my brain, home to cubic shitloads of similarly useless information.
