			<description><![CDATA[I’m trying to decide if I should upgrade the stock suspension on my sportbike, but I’m not sure it’s worth the cost for the kind of aggressive street riding I do. The front end feels vague when I’m really pushing it through a series of fast corners, and I’m wondering if better cartridge forks would give me the precise feedback I’m missing.]]></description>
