Broken piston rings was always popular with the italjets. Of course it would ruin the piston and score the bores, potentially contaminate the crank case. Let's face it, if the front suspension was a great idea we would have seen a lot more of them by now, even bmw have dropped the tele front end because of the effect it has on cornering. Normal forks do the job well enough.
Most of the customers for this kind of scooter would be riding a 300/500cc 4 stroke now.
