I like the idea of ABS since my lightning quick reflexes are now only thunder quick and I'm thinking the ABS could make up the difference. Anyone out there have an opinion on the differences? Do they up the maintenance cost or are they problematic in any way??
I know Honda's are infinitely more reliable than BMW's but after the problems with the ABS my friends and I have had, there is no way I would take a chance on another ABS. That's just me. Years down the road when Honda's ABS has proven reliable, I may try one. Until then, I won't do it. I haven't checked the price of Honda's brake parts but BMW had one ABS pump that cost $2400! I just don't think Honda's ABS has been around long enough to make a judgment. JMHO
