Yep, like many manufactors do, like Honda, Yamaha, Mercedes, Bmw, and on and on and onDid the abs work well? Do you think its beneficial?
Yes. just like a car ( i have drivinglicense and a old car)Ok let me rephrase that. When you tested it do you think it works well
i would rather have an abs than a non´and would you take it over a non abs bike?
Yes, because you dont have time to think HOW hard you shall press the brake, you just do it.Do you think it will help in an emergency stop?
i rembember a situation on the road in city - I had the cbr125rw before, i was driving behind a car, he stopped where he should and then he drove again and stopped because he overlookd a car, i thought he kept going, i paniced and hit the frontbrake with that result i was on one wheel juust about to tip over - that wouldnt had happend with a abs.How does it compare to non abs bikes you have ridden?
Okey dokeyI have never ridden an abs bike so I do not know.
Final word from the CBR250R Owners' Manual:"Yes, because you dont have time to think HOW hard you shall press the brake, you just do it."
I would have to disagree with that. It takes a bit for a bike to stop after slamming on the brakes, ive had my rear lock up and slide but was able to release it. Practicing proper braking techiniques, abs or not it is essential to practice.
No time to think / panic.... suggests going too fast to me. Riders who have learned and practiced braking skills need little time to think, and are less likely to panic.
You shouldnt fixate on that car in front of you. Look ahead of it, scan the area.
Probably the most important thing for a motorcyclist to realise. A lot of the rest sort of follows from this, especially when turning or in emergency situations.
Look where you want to go, not at what you want to avoid
ABS is not a replacement for proper riding techniques is all im saying. I think it would be great in rain and on slick surfaces.
I just read you are accusation me for driving fast, I dont remember i wrote i was driving fast, do you see that anywhere in my post??"Yes, because you dont have time to think HOW hard you shall press the brake, you just do it."

I was not driving to close, im very cautious with that - i was just surpriced over it and paniced."
You shouldnt fixate on that car in front of you. Look ahead of it, scan the area. Doesnt seem like you were paying attention. Think about it, if you had rear ended him you would have been the at fault driver. Why were you going that fast approaching a car that had already stopped? You say you hit the front brake, why not the rear brake too? Had you hit the rear brake too you wouldnt have been on one wheel.

Kim...I have the cbr 250 abs model, and I also ride a honda cbf 1000...with abs. I don't, by any means, claim to know everything about riding. I agree with you that it is good to test out our breaking system to know what the bike and what WE are capable of doing. However, I will never feel that my bikes abs will be the sole means of getting me out of a jam. I would hope it would be my defensive driving mentality ie "everyones out to get me", and anticipating the unpredictable actions of drivers. As well, I did get the gaining of 2 sec, I posted that I don't claim to be a race driver. I do see your point of the 2 sec gain when it comes to stopping and no wheel lock up. which can pertain to us with an abs version, which brings me back to my point of anticipation and defensive riding.live_to_ride - As you apparently didnt want to see; this thread was for them who have the abs version
It wasnt about GAINING 2 sec. you missed the pointWHY did they gain 2 sec - there was no wheel lockup.
Nope, but apperantly you did you braindead ****: "No i know i dont panic cause i have been drivin bike for years, so i know it"Kim, did you eat paint chips as a kid?
