ABS likely saved me today

"I shoulder checked, and in that time the guy in front of me hammered on his brakes. I turned back and had just enough time pull on my front brake."- That's why I don't agree with shoulder checks in cars and on bikes. I use mirrors to let me know who is where and at what speed. I know shoulder checks are taught, but in heavy traffic I find there is not time. I watch people in the mirrors like a hawk. - Glad the ABS worked as well as it did. Indeed the front brakes are very powerful and in a panic stop they are almost too powerful. I used to be able to hammer both brakes on my Nighthawks with no trouble. But the CB11 has a lot more bite.

Avoid even one minor accident with ABS and it pays for itself. Avoid an injury accident with it and it pays for your next bike.

VERY TRUE! 30% safer per stats than non abs.
