Jeeps ever rode, tested bike with first class ABS? My BMW1200RS only had ABS kick in one time, without ABS I would have been down.jeeps84 said:They can leave the ABS off my sportbikes. The rest? I would consider it.
Raining came out of gas station, headed to intersection car just stopped on green light:yikes: Painted roadway markers activated ABS. I know for fact bike would have been down from painted markers in roadway without ABS.
Yes,and it was a BMW 1100 RS (I think) Great ride if your into that kind of ridding. I would have one long before a Wing.jetskifast said:Jeeps ever rode, tested bike with first class ABS?
I don't know for sure if it ever kicked in but the front break did some wired things on a few corners. I assumed it was the ABS. If the wheel was trying lock up at the speed and approach I was taking the corners. Its all wrong to start with. I don't need that at all. I never felt it in the rear do any thing weird.
Is the ABS even hooked to the front?:scratch:
being from the dirt, i couldnt imagein having abs on a bike, the skid is just kinda natural
I still think the biggest safety feature is the nut that hold the handle bars...:lol:

ABS has come a long ways since old 1100 bikes
In dirt ABS doesnot work very well, thats why bikes like my F650GS have switch to turn off ABS:dthumb:
who you call'n a nut? Me? oh... ok... just make'n sure:lol:jeeps84 said:Still have a nut to hold them.:lol:
It wasn't to old. The bike I rode was a 03 or 04, not sure. I think it was a R 1100 RS. I don't keep up with the BMW's that well.jetskifast said:ABS has come a long ways since old 1100 bikes
