Why do you compare with other cars having different suspension? There are many "normal" cars of past having twice the shock travel and ground clearance. Lowering them by even 3-4" is relatively nothing. Twins have rather low clearance & bumpless compression travel stock. Lowering twins more then 1" is a lot, it negatively affects suspension geometry and leaves very little bumpstop free compression travel, that needs in turn ramped up spring rates. There is no free candy, magic overruling physics (of course except placebo & post-purchase rationalization bias) and you should compare apples to apples.
