    It looks like the Canadian version has both ABS and linked brakes.

    Why does Canada get the goodies and the US does not ???

    Australia also gets ABS and Dual Combined Braking. I beleive Australia has some kind of law involving ABS and motorcycles over a certian capacity.

    CBS/ABS

    We have the same situation in the UK. The F6B is only available with CBS/ABS in Europe. I think that this is due to a ruling in the European parliament.
    However, I agree with what others have said here, do not let the absence of ABS put you off a fantastic motorcycle. If the F6B had been on sale in the UK without ABS, I would still have bought it. I have owned a 2009 GL1800 with satnav, airbag and ABS and In my opinion the F6B is a better bike for my needs. I do not miss any of the things they took off the Goldwing to create the F6B.
