So I have done more than 3k km with my Ohlins suspension.
In the meantime, I have sorted some details (i.e. rear bolts, geometry alignment).

The suspension is very firm, but you really do not believe that I am running so stiff springs.
It is very impressive the turn in, the responsiveness.
The higher the speed, the better it feels.
It doesn't like bumps in the highway at 200+ (at least with the current settings).
I have done a few jumps in Italy. Madness !!!

I am running -3.5 front camber (the rest of settings and tyre pressures will not be disclosed) but it's very stable and responsive even at 280km/h.
I was also surprised to find out that it feels more safe/stable doing 140-150 with my Michelin cup tyres in normal-to-heavy rain.
I suppose it has to do with the amount of information the suspension delivers to you.

Next stop the racetrack. Let's see.

PS : it's also better for drifting, tested that in Leonardo secret parking in Munich
