Question Regarding ABS Brakes

[metallyguitarded_imp]

Okay, guys, what do you know about the 2014 Standard having ABS on the rear brake only? Can that be right? On our ride yesterday, my friend pointed out how it was strange that the CB was so equipped. He pointed out what appears to be an ABS ring that I never even considered before. He also pointed out a wire running from the area that is consistent with an ABS sensor.

The standard is certainly not advertised as having ABS and I did a search for ABS on the rear of the 2014 CB1100 and found nothing. I looked at photos of other motorcycles with ABS and the visible ABS ring sure does look like what I have on my CB. I snapped a couple photos while cleaning my bike today.

Here's what appears to be the ABS ring:

And in this photo you can see what appears to be a sensor wire running from the area of the rear axle (visible just to the right of the shock):

Alright guys, what do you think? Or, more importantly, what do you know??

speed sensor ring. 14 STD doesn't have abs

Ah. What a let down. Makes sense though.

even dealers get confused about that.

I saw this photo of the 2014 which is labeled European ABS Model and the ring on the back had me convinced it was the same as what I have on mine. (And that it was the ABS ring). It's astounding how much I don't know...


The ABS on the front is more obvious:

And, I see it's not the first time you've come to the aid of those less in the know regarding the presence or absence of ABS on the standard: [url=http://cb1100forum.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=1737]http://cb1100forum.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=1737
