If your unsure about getting your CBR250R with ABS the videos below should help you decide, it's not absolutely needed but from watching the video's below you can see how well it helps.

I see no difference at all, he stop at the same place with or without abs

Everybody knows that abs have shorter brakedistance so my GUESS is that hes a newbie that dont know how to use abs

In the video without ABS there is some squealing going on...I am thinking this is the rear tire being locked up ?....if so, not so good. Other than that, the guy did a pretty good job of stopping the CBR without locking up the front wheel. Where the ABS can really shine is during the unforeseen fastest possible stop requirement with no locking up of either wheel.....a true " mandatory right now" stop rather than a " practice" stop. While it is important to both abs and non-abs riders to practice "fast as possible stops" ...you have a better chance of success with ABS. This can save bike and body parts and help avoid a lot of physical pain...or worse. I think it is the UK which is looking at having ABS mandatory on new motos after a certain date...something like 2015 or later.........

Thats what they planing to do in denmark too, i know denmark take only the abs-version in.
Abs saves lives

Heres a real test with abs on/off

No doubt here that abs reduces braking distances

So we better tell carproducers/bikes/trucks etc. that they dont need to make abs - its the same brakedistance on dry road; thats way it was banned in formula one ;-)
What a useless piece of sh** ey?

I know what you are thinking. In a perfect world and a perfect racedriver would know the exactly brakeforce on all bends
from preventing the shock absorber "jumping" as the abs does and hence loosing grip, compared to the non-abs where shockabsorber do much less jumping.
But that perfect world doesnt exist.

Nobody can make a perfect braking without abs everytime, (not even the formula one dudes)

So thats why it DOES reduce brakedistance compared to a non-abs, that is why its so "popular"

i SEEM TO REMEMBER that it was formula one that invented the abs back then..
