| I agree that standard production Ohlins forks offer little over a good set of Showas, my reworked Showas are better than the standard 748R Ohlins, but my R&T Ohlins in my 998Hybrid are an improvement again, but still not as good as the Ohlins Superbike forks that came in the 998R. as for the GP500 Ohlins forks I have I can't pass comment yet but suspect they're very good even though they are now a few years behind the times
So in order
Std Showas, Production Ohlins, Reworked showas, R&T Ohlins, SBK Ohlins, GP Ohlins
as for the rear Ohlins I have always found them very good especialy if they arefitted with the correct spring for your weight and useage and can be improved further with a revalve to suit yor needs.
The 1999 Yam R6 we took to the TT in 2003 had a Hi/low speed Ohlins rear shock all revalved and sprung for racing and the standard forks had been fitted with Ohlins springs and shim kits and handled the TT circuit really well with 114mph average lap times
