The kind of suspension depends more on the design, one can also cry about bikes having 2 shocks for the rear & that mono shocks do better, the same way one can cry about a gear less scooter having only one shock in the rear while bikes & blaze have 2 shocks.
IMO, Nothing is out dated as long as it does the job well.
Get the bushes changed if they are worn out, and it does well.
perhaps yes but just one point, hold the front brake and try to push dowm on a leading link suspension. there will be no action whereas in the telescopic type the suspension will act even with the front brake held tight. so basically whilst riding and during braking on broken roads the leading link will harden up and not act but shudder and thud. besides the leading link suspension has been abandoned my all manufacturers except in cases where cost is a factor.

the aviator sports a telescopic suspension.
