Might be because the old Saab appears to have used the 2-stroke triple's smoke screen as a weapon against the opposition?
And because a softer suspension, despite body-roll, can do wonders for traction and handling over undulating surfaces.
The Saab's front wheel drive could have also been used to advantage, again whenever traction was found wanting.
