Inspired by what has been said in this thread http://forums.sv650.org/showthread.php?t=117639 I thought I'd put a poll up to see the general consensus ...
Personally I have never ridden a bike with ABS to know how good it is, but for the sake of argument lets assume the bike ABS is as advanced/good as modern cage ABS. i.e. no horrible pulsing of the leaver or jerky fork movements etc just max breaking with no chance of skidding regardless of foot/finger pressure!! |

On a road bike yes, I'm good enough to brake hard and control it without but for that 1/1000000 chance I'd have ABS if it was an option.
Wouldn't bother on a track bike. Druid

I want ABS I can turn off, for trackdays and the like. But yeah, good ABS, I would personally give a nut for.

Yes why not?
Honda have developed a "fly by wire"braking system which should be fitted on bikes soon. The only downside I can see is added complexity meaning you would have to take it to the dealer for services and repairs.And more cost.

Im not fussed really, but if i was buying a new bike and the option was there, then yes i probably would.
I still fond it hard to understand WHY poeple WOULDNT want ABS. ABS cuts in when the wheel locks and only then! Why would you want your fornt wheel to lock? 99% of the time, fornt wheel lock, you hit the deck!! Last edited by Viney; 15-09-08 at 08:50 PM. |

We all make mistakes, anyone that claims they could beat or match an ABS system, under emergency stop/swerve circumstances, in all conditions, every time, is deluded. It would take a highly skilled rider to do it once in the wet, in an emergency.
I'd love ABS on my bike, and it is something that I will look for on my next. |
