Electronics in suspension is a new thing only multistrada's, Panigale and BMW's are supplied nowadays?  no way..
For sure, it is the future in suspension.
But, look at this old 1986 Suzuki GSXR1100"Slabby" forks.. no cartridges, no adjustable damping but with..electronics!

   
The above frontfork is out of a 1986 Suzuki GSXR1100 "SLABSIDE" which belongs to Ron Huijs , a friend of BRS,  Ron is an experienced trackrider going into Oldskool superbikes.  At the moment he is putting this mid eigties powerpack into a proper track/ racebike.  His mission for season 2013 is to do some classic events , maybe some endurance and do some regular trackdays.  
Then BRS rider Wim Hendriks..is also going Oldskool and is also going "classic superbike" 
Wim bought his own bike which also happens to be...A GSXR slabby! Wim's bike is a 1985 GSXR750.  This GSXR needs a bit of TLC and then will make its entrance on the track in full racetrim.  In 2013 we might see this bike on a ferry..going to the Isle of Man!  ManxGP!  



More on GSXR "Slabby" 750
  

The GSX-R750 was built to compete in the various worldwide championships as well as to be used on the street. It is considered as one the very first street-legal racers, there had been a number of sports machines but the GSX-R750 was something else. It was a revolutionary motorcycle with specifications like over 100 hp power output, less than 180 kg dry mass, 55° leaning angle, lightweight alloy double-cradle perimeter frame, 18-inch wheels and streamlined design based on the factory Formula 1 and Endurance racers.  The air/oil-cooled motor had cylinder dimensions of 70,0 x 48,7 mm and had 29 mm flat slide carbs. In a racing trim (there was a tuning kit available for competitive racing) the GSX-R750 engine provided 130 bhp. The new high-tech engine was narrower than earlier inline-fours and materials like magnesium was used to keep the weight down to minimum. The GSX-R750 was basically a street-legal and detuned version of the works GS1000R racer. The flat slide carburetors gave faster response to the throttle compared to the vacuum carburetors. It also required the rider to be more gently with the throttle. There were no compromises, it was very quick in hands of a skillful rider but could be experienced as nervous and even dangerous. That is certainly the case in old and abused machines. The components of the bike are all high quality but make sure that the tyres, suspension and bearings are all in good condition or the bike can scare the living daylight out of you! The GSX-R750 engine is considered as reliable but we all know that there is no such thing as bulletproof engines.  The frame of the early models is not that rigid and bend easily when dropped. The GSX-R750 entered the market in March 1985. There's not many bikes out there in mint condition, most of them are ridden very hard and seen their best days. Nevertheless the evolution of modern sports bikes started with the GSX-R750. It's a real classic.  GSXR750 1985 Overall Length: 2,130 mm (83.9 in) Overall Width: 620 mm (24.4 in) Overall Height: 1,200 mm (47.2 in) Seat Height: 755 mm (29.7 in) Wheelbase: 1,425 mm (56.1 in) Ground Clearance 140 mm (5.5 in) Dry Weight: 176 kg (388 lbs) Engine type: Air/oil-cooled 747 cc inline-4, DOHC, 16 valves. 106 hp (77.4 kW)/ 10,500 rpm, 64 Nm/ 8,000 rpm.
