It looks impressive and I would be intrigued to know how it works

Interesting stuff .... if it's a step towards better road safety then that has got to be good. :yes:
Looks ok I suppose. I'm unsure why it would be necessary though. Its like ABS, how many times do you actually use it?
Uncrashable my arse. :nono:
:agree:

- personally , have had my ABS trigger on numerous occasions (esp in the wet). Its a life saver.
- the last one was when I had to brake hard on painted lines (no where else to go). That one was all ABS. I even felt the beginnings of a low side before the ABS caught it.
- as for the "you are a bad rider if your ABS comes on" - yeah maybe , but its kept my bike rubber side down , so far.

what he said...... wet painted lines and inattentive drivers make ABS one of the best features on the bike
