“Honda Combined ABS for Sportbikes”

Posted by Naked Rider in Motorcycles

That was the headline on web BikeWorld’s page today.  ABS is one thing that I believe would make riding a motorcycle significantly safer.  Often riders are not well trained or well practiced in how to use the front and rear breaks together.  Riders often in a panic situation lock up the rear wheel and skid out of control.  With a combined ABS system the rider could panic applying either the front or rear break and still have control of the bike.  ABS would also be useful on wet slick roads where the conditions are not as predictable.  I am looking forward to the day when this becomes standard on motorcycles much as it is on cars.
