Abs?

[paturoa]

Every review of that new Honda system available on the CBR1000R (of all bikes) rates it extremely well -apparently you don't notice it other than the wheels not locking up.

Have a look at the youtube link I put in an earlier post in this thread, MCN got 3 riders of different ability, and got them all to do stops on a CBR with and without ABS. All 3 stoped significanlty shorter with ABS.

I didn't read the whole thread but I'll post anyways,
I've noticed on low friction surfaces some tend to ABS when moderate braking is applied and the pulse from the abs is enough to lock the wheel/s up which is scary and you have less control than a non abs.

Basically your doin like 80k or somthing apply brakes little slip and then your wheels are pulsing between 0 and 5 k and it scares the crap outta ya so you grab more brakes.
but a non ABS would do an initial slip then grip and slow you down without locking up. usually if your on a low friction surface and just want to drop a few ks b4 a corner.
