Does this 2013 ABS look familiar? Getting ready to buy it

[Pterodactyl_imp]

The '13 ABS front brakes are 3 pot calipers. Check the service manual and part fiche and that can be seen.

Right, the ABS model, I was referring to the standard model. Standard model has two four-piston calipers up front. I thought you were saying it has twin-piston calipers.

Oh, ok, got it.

It was Curlyjoe though.

Braking on an abs bike and a non abs bike is exactly the same up until the point of wheel lockup, at which point an abs bike will indeed stop faster than a non abs bike. A skidding motorcycle is an out of control motorcycle.

I'm recusing myself from this debate, I've seen it before. I will just say, for those who have not yet made up their minds, that there is a reason racing motorcycles don't use it.

No more replies on my part; an ABS thread is like an oil thread, lol...

Well, not quite right there mate. From BMW below; they have played with it in various forms.

Quote:BMW Motorrad presented the S 1000 RR in 2009 - not just its first supersports bike but also the first motorcycle of this type to be fitted with ABS. That same year saw the first racing victory by a supersports motorcycle with ABS at the 24-hour race in Barcelona.
