how about learning how to ride, well in this case brake, before adding a bunch of electronic BS?

ABS will only be an option this year.

I wish they gave the 600 the stub nose of the 1000. I really like the looks of the 1000, especially in white.

Everyone said that about ABS on cars too, but it's standard now. I'm pretty sure even F1 teams have tried to use it too.

abs = wheel speed sensors = traction control

FINALLY!! Someone made the connection.

They are calling it abs for now, but you KNOW there will be a firmware upgrade to the ECU to make is traction control. I'm intersted to see if they made the ECU programmable. it's only a matter of time before Power Commanders are obsolete.

The only traction control a good rider needs is all in the right hand. I can see something like this being a good option for newer riders and so on...but if you're hopping into the saddle of a litre bike and you need ABS and TC? ahh, might want to think twice first.

The only ABS I need is my right middle "You're # 1" finger

Oh and power commanders went obsolete awhile ago. Will never buy another.

So motogp racers aren't good riders?

Glad that's all sorted out then.

Close thread?

do you have a 230? hp street bike? or even 200?

traction control = throttle control. I just don't see a need for something like that or ABS for a street bike.

shoulda known there'd be a few to take that all the wrong way. ah well.

[Half Squid]

I Think I found my new ride. Found this in another topic on this site.

Black R1 !!! Might have to go back to the inline Yamaha after all!!!

[GixerJockey]

or even 200?

I do...

A human is physically incapable of modulating a throttle or brakes as quickly and accurtely as a computer can. Tons of lowsides are caused by people panicking and grabbing too much front brake. ABS can go a very long way towards reducing that.

hmmm i thought they'd be changing the 600rr this time around

its a sweet bike regardless

Aren't there also a bunch of crashes in MotoGP because the rider was relying on the traction control that didn't kick in
