So I know about the differences of the two. But.. if you were looking at a bike, how would you be able to tell if one had inverted forks or not? is there a dead give away physically?

Thanks

This has to be a joke.
 
Its really not a joke. No one wants to inform me? I thought inverted forks were to help with unsprung weight making the bikes front end feel light espeically when turning.... am i wrong?
