2013 R3T - ABS or not ????

[ber778]

Thank you all for your feedback. Seems pretty clear that despite the paperwork from the dealer to the contrary, I do not have ABS.

So the next big question.... What is the price difference between a R3T with ABS and one without?

Don't know, but I do not have ABS on my '08 Touring and had a bad back brake lock-up. Been riding since the '80's - it was the brake, trust me. I recommend ABS.

Na they did not see any reason to put ABS on a bike they took so much power away from

Took away HP, but added Torque.

Definetly go the ABS, i have locked my back brake a couple of times , its something i'm very wary of its a big bike a lot of weight and can be easy to do .. Worst one was in the wet with new tyres , I went for a long ride to scrub in some new tyres in the pouring rain , 3 hours later , 2 minuites from home coming up to the lights and it locked i ended up going through a red light and stopped all red faced and embaressed half way through in ther middle of the lights ,

Luck for me the other traffic had seen it all and waited for me to stop , Lucky not all car drivers are on the phone and doing there nails .

Would'nt make me sell my rt3 , but its the only bike its ever happenned to me on and when i replace it i will make sure that the next one has ABS ,, its a useful tool , ,,,,when you need it ,,,

I would love to have ABS on my classic, but will never get rid of the beast to gain it. When it's an aftermarket option it'll jump to the top of the list. Just gotten into the habit of never using the back unless I really need it for a little directional control.
