there is the kbup we know and love

I can easily tell the difference between my bike with a low tank and a full tank, either from a standstill or when moving. Who's the moron now?

Now, assuming the extra weight of this ABS system is located way down low, that's a different story.

But whatever, you guys go ahead and pay xtra for it ----- Just hope it doesn't break post-warranty, like all electronic shit does. Gotta wonder how Honda's electronic steering dampers are holding up post-warranty, lol. What's the cost to replace those?

Most 600 riders leave their bikes at home when it rains anyway, lol.

But you're an experienced rider, there's a difference. You've also probably done track days, etc as well, where a noob won't have that kind of experience. What bike(s) do you think a noob is going to have experience on to judge a 20lb difference *from the weight of the same or similar bike without ABS* that could very well save his life?

In order to know, they've got to experience it. If they're getting the experience, it doesn't really make then a noob anymore, does it?

Just sayin' :D :D

:lol: just feeling feisty today

You act like you can't brain today because you have a case of the dumb redflip

They actually had a track day test with the ABS RR. They tried to lock the wheels up. They ran it through water and sand and the ABS worked excellent. There's a video floating around somewhere.

answer is they dont, they put a different damper on to the tune of around $400+ :lol:

really? Phi Sig said he didn't notice... he's not a noob... :idk:

20 lbs all depends on WHERE it is... the reason you notice your tank so much is where the fuel is stored... and you notice the difference because you know how it feels WITH and WITH OUT that weight...

where as on the bike... it's always gonna be there... unless your jumping between an ABS version and a NON ABS version... you'll not notice it.

Here's the HD vid that I got with my bagger that I ordered with ABS. Explains it very well.

I wonder if it kicks back at you like car abs?
