Could be worse - at least our brakes arent power assisted.

BMW abandoned their servo brake system (like power brakes) after the 2006 model year. All 2007+ bikes have normal, non-servo brakes.

BTW, all BMW bikes have come equipped ABS for years now. They are into their fifth generation of ABS and they work VERY well.
