2009 Honda CBR600RR/1000RR

[7mmWSM]

A couple of weeks ago at the HRC track day we had the privledge of being the first to see the new ABS equiped CBR's in action. Hearing reports back from some of the lucky ones who got to ride them suggests they are work extremely well and worth every cent. Being able to pull the brakes on as hard as you can at 200Km + and having no care in the world about locking up should mean more rider confidence = faster lap times.

The new models I beleive should be here very soon so can't wait to ride them myself.

Whats other peoples opinions on them? For or against?

for - safety
against - weight

to be honest the brakes on the 08 600 are very predictable and pull up very well.
id like to have a ride on the abs 600 to compare but i think they would have been better off to keep the abs out and put in a slipper clutch and gear indicator.
