On the Super Tenere, the traction control has two selectable "on" modes, and can be switched off. The ABS is always on, but it works phenomenally well - even in the dirt.

I only have ABS on the GS, it can be turned off. I like being able to turn it off. I like sliding the rear.

Traction control is available on other models of the GS, but I wish I had ESA the electronic suspension package. Everyone seems to love that shit.

I would buy a BMW 1300 S just for the ESA. Well yeah, for the rest of it too.
