History has shown that separating the front and back suspension is a good thing ( or at least with minimal interaction ), that bike would be "odd" to ride to say the least. It may be a good setup for some goldwing type comfort cruiser but for a race bike it would be like riding a rocking horse

Tom, there are over 50 advantages and these 2 suspension designs give a breakthrough in dealing with cornering chatter. Braking, cornering, acceleration (by way of an anti-wheelie aspect to directly connected suspension) and aerodynamics (where there is less compression during cornering therefore a lower ride height can give reduced frontal area) are the main advantages. Telescopic forks are now at the end of their development cycle due to cornering chatter where the present work on electronic active suspension will only marginally increase their life span.
An academic paper is available to fully expain matters should you be interested.

BarryMachine, It is the opposite to what you say. There is a great reduction in chassis pitch to benefit all conditions, in particular, cornering. Ride feel is increased where the handlebars now have a slight marginal motion with suspension action, which, given the quality of suspension action is improved, this is essential.
