Too bad they dont seem to understand the physics of riding dont change just cause you have ABS. Cornering on the brakes will still overwhelm the traction available. The test rider commented onhow much harder the bike was to turn. Duh.

Applying some rear brake in a turn can really settle the bike down but the ABS system will apply both. Not a good thing. Still, for most situations it will probably be really good.

I agree X . Tap and release the rear and the bike stands up. How can you do that with linked brakes?
