Indeed, at the speeds we are talking about the thing is far more likely to impede rather than improve performance.

I was more interested in actual changes to an otherwise "standard" twin that actually affect performance and feel that make the tS such an alleged sublime improvement over any other "normal" twin. So I ask again - is it just suspension (including sway bars, bushings, etc.) and brakes?

Are you familiar with the thought experiment:
