So many have never driven a vehicle with a manual transmission, it's getting hard to find one now a days.

As long as normal brakes are still offered, they can do whatever the market will bite on IMO.

 

does anyone have a service manual for the new touring bike and linked brakes ? i'm thinking it doesn't necessarily have to be abs equipped to be linked.. it only requires a proportioning valve and splitter/Y fitting in brake line.. A hydraulic flow schematic would show how the system works.
