I don't dislike it entirely, but with practice and over time you can stop your bike faster without ABS. I've been riding for just under 50 years, and my 1998 R100RT was my first ABS bike. Trouble with the sensors, the brake switches, and things of that sort from time to time. Meanwhile, my Ducati Monster S4 didn't have ABS, I never had a lockup or a problem with braking. I understand why people like it, but I'd just as soon not have the tech headaches that can come with ABS. I also still have a BMW R1200RT that has ABS, and it's been in the shop several times for the sensors, thankfully not for the ABS pump itself. I love that my new F6B has linked brakes, but no ABS.Originally Posted by Big TP
