![]() I have had ABS on three different bikes. FJ1200, not the best and would kick in on RXR tracks or potholes really early. Bmw GS, never noticed the front but the rear would kick in early on choppy pavement. Bmw K1200R, could be the safest bike I've had to stop. Absolutely NOW stopping in most conditions.
Now I don't know if I would buy another bike w/o ABS. |

My only problem with the new sophisticated traction controls on the BMWs is that it indicates that we have reached a place where the bikes are in fact too powerful. A bike that needs such safeguards to keep its riders from killing themselves is, in fact, too powerful. I expect the increased fatalities to bring about more govt controls in an attempt to safe healthcare costs. Anyone want to make a wager?

BTW, kudos! It takes a certain amount of skill to turn an ABS thread into a healthcare thread. You truly are the master!

Actually, if they kill themselves in increasing numbers, isn't that already saving healthcare costs? Saves on pension and Social Security too! The Gov should promote this type activity, no??

![]() Anyway....... I'm with Fenton, probably wouldn't buy a bike without ABS now just as I wouldn't buy a cage without it.
