I was taking my lead on that bike from Sergio - he wrote the technical specs on the K1300...

That sounds famaliar, oh yeah, I been saying the same thing the whole thread................

I don't have any first hand knowledge of the K1300, but the R bikes are pretty much the same system.

Honda's ABS on the Goldwing and the CBRs are pretty close in operation to the R bikes as well.

Basically, there are plenty of bikes out there that do use ABS on the rear.

You want fun with numbers?

Honda ABS system: 22lbs
BMW R-ABS system [that is on the S1000rr]: 4lbs

I'd rather 0 lbs on a sportbike, as in no ABS, LOL

Stupid Euros with their mandatory ABS policing.
