Being able to steer your bike under hard braking is great. It is much better than having the rear end come around. I test rode a bike with abs and slammed on both brakes and steered around an object. I was very impressed. My next bike will definitely have abs.
Can ABS can be added on by the dealer or is it a factory only option??
Factory only option. Someone once asked if they could add it on after. I believe he was told it would be about $4000.00 to do it. Seach the forum, it's here somewhere.
I don't have them on mine and the Brembo brakes are awesome. Having said that if I had an option I would get one with ABS, no such thing as too safe. I'm dreaming of an aftermarket option one day????
