Get it - It is a major safety item that may save your bacon one day.

Having said that - it is not a substitute for a well practiced emergency braking technique. Your rear tire can still slip out from under you in a turn or curve on questionable pavement for instance.

It is not a "get out of jail free" card.

 

ABS all the way.. glad i bought with the ABS option..

 

It's funny, but the non-ABS models seem to outnumber the ones with ABS at many of the HD dealership around San Antonio.

I couldn't see getting one without ABS.

ABS has saved my bacon many times in the past (BMW bikes).

 

ABS is fantastic...you won't regret it

 

is this the same thread from a week ago ?? abs should be standard on all bikes

ride safe

 

NO DOUBTS! Ya can't beat ABS...Mine has saved My butt already!

Ride Safe, Mike

 

Just curious to see how many of you with ABS bikes have another one without it. I'd be afraid of just stomping the brake on the other bile...

 

The first sentence is very profound! After riding a bike with ABS and experiencing it first hand at an intersection where I had the stop sign and the road was covered with a light sand.......it's not even a question for me any longer.

From this point forward, every bike I buy will have it....or that bikes not an option!

 

Not even a debatable question - get it!!

 

Even though my incoming FLHR has ABS I plan to practice enough that I can panic stop right on the edge of ABS kicking in. ABS is no substitute for skill.
