Hopefully the CB 11 ABS owners wont have these issues.
Dumb question Im sure but what do you mean by linked? What trouble have you had on the ST?
RE: ABS Video... - Apx2Apx_imp - 05-17-2013
Linked meaning if you hit the rear brake only the front also applies. But not as much as it would if you squeezed the front brake lever.
Interested in knowing you troubles. The Honda ABS system on motorcycles is referred to being the best there is.

If the front only brake lever is applied it activates only the front brakes. This system is better for inexperienced riders. More seasoned riders prefer the feel of independent brake systems as it is easier to trail brake.

Actually that's a driving school course, and the guy doing the test is an instructor, this isn't anything official from Honda.
The CB750 is what they typically use for instruction for people wanting to get the unlimited bike license. Most people there get license for under 400, in which case they learn on a modified version of the CB400 Super Four.
Speaking of which, the 400 Super Four is a really cool bike. If they offered it here in the US I'd have thought about it instead of the 1100 actually.

Many Wing and ST owners have had issues with the secondary master cylinder which goes bad and sticks. honda recalled them on the Wings but not on the ST so many owners have had to replace them themselves. It also makes bleeding the brakes nearly impossible. The factory trained mechanics took 4 shots at it before they got mine right.
