Study show antilocks good for motorcycles too----DUH

I don't like the idea of ABS on a motorcycle. How the hell are you going to "back it in" when the rear brake is being used due to the integrated brakes?

I believe it would be optional on Sportbikes or at least on a switch.

Ok even if you could turn it off for track use, would it still be worth the $1000 upgrade for the street? I don't think so.

I never thought it was worth it on a big truck either till I came over a hill doing 60mph just to find traffic stopped. No way I could have stopped with out Anti-lock. Shit works. The linked brakes on the Black Bird work well. I'm sure ABS would be better.

Well thankfully I've never need them in the 22 or so years that i have been driving. I fully endorse them on cars of course, but for bikes.... I'm still skeptical. I good long demo ride might change my mind though.

The demo ride would... it did for me on the BMW.

If there anything like the ones on cars it wouldnt be too bad. My mustang doesnt have them and theres a few times that I couldve definitely used them. Other cars that I used to own couldve made the same stop that the mustang couldnt because the brakes locked and I slid.
