Hello,

I am considering purchasing an 08 Tourer mainly for the ABS option.

I am wondering if any of you have the ABS, and what your thoughts are as to it's usefullness,

(the Search feature of this Forumis useless)

 

I do. Had it since July. ABS only kicked in once when an SUV pulled out from an alley onto the main road. ABS kicked in, bike stayed straight. Probably saved my a$$.

Well worth it.

 

mine has them,,, knowin what I know now,,, wouldnt buy a bike without them!

 

Still ain't much!

ABS is cats azz

 

Yes I have can say if you want or need to stop in a hurry anti lock works great. I didn't know how fast a scooter could stop until now.

 

Traded my wrecked 07 Ultra for a 08 Ultra w/ABS- Staying on a bike with emergency braking and full locked brakes was beyond my experience level. Practiced similar event with the 08 and bike came to an up-right safe stop. Little wierd feeling the pulsing in the brakes- just keep on the pressure and the bike stops just fine. I have no second thoughts or regrets, get the ABS!

 

The ABS will be worth every last cent you paid for them ,the first time you use them and they save your bacon!

I wasn't looking for them when I went from the RK to the new Ultra ... but can definitely say they are worth it. You are much more in control on any quick stops.

 

YES - Worth the $$$$$$$$$$$$$$

 

Bike week is coming up, Lots of sandy corners. Lots of traffic. Might be a good place to test'em.

Yes Worth the money
