For your coment to the gear box, yes that is one of the best things on the 210, to change that easy from RM to MM, and also 3 to 4 gear!
What i think about it is, it could be redesigned a bit, to bring the layshaft and the motor plate a bit more down?
To you point about suspension geometry, i can follow, but i do not have the knowledge, to get more into details...
