ABS: Antilock braking system. Designed to make sure your wheels don't lock up and skid on the road. ABS doesn't mean it reduce braking lenght. Progressive braking always. ABS is there IF you screw up the braking.

I've ridden bikes from the 70s to a new 2021. The #1 tech is ABS. Simply no doubt ABS saves lives. Modern brakes are incredibly better. And when that deer jumps out in front of you you will swear by it too. #2: modern suspensions. The fully adjustable inverted forks of the past 20 years are just much better than what we grew up on. I can't comment on the electronic suspensions so I don't know if they are really any better on the street. But I won't buy a bike without ABS and an inverted adjustable front fork. 0.02

I have a 2008 Suzuki GSR 600 with only ABS and it saved me once in a left corner. I had to brake hard before the corner because I was a little too fast and there was sand and debris mid-corner. ABS kicked in and saved my butt! Since then I do "Slow-Look-Press-Roll"! And ATGATT! I wish everybody a beautiful start in the new season and ride save! Greetings from sunny, sometimes rainy Austria 🇦🇹!

after the suspension test when spite started talking about a piece of technology we should be keeping safe and reached for his pocket i dont know why i was expecting him to say "your balls" and somehow turn that into a segway for a manscaped add

That little mustache reveals that Yammie is in fact a silent movie's villain. I bet Withney is tied to a railroad track right this moment. SAVE HER, SPIKE!

Gotta say... as a new rider... having ABS really boosts my confidence on braking. I still practice smooth progressive pressure on the brakes...but having that confidence that they won't lock up is really comforting knowing that in a tight situation I still might panic break.

Front tire on pavement I want ABS fasho. Once when I was young I grabbed a fist full of front brake on a bike I wasn't familiar with and got absolutely demolished face first. Learned two lessons that day. One front brake is progressively applied and two, wear a full face or break your face.

I have a 2020 GsxR 1000, and I love the electronics on it. It has just the essentials like cornering ABS and cornering traction, anti wheelie and so on... it's nice to know that you have some backup while you're sitting on a 200hp 200kg chair 😆😆

As a fairly new rider I love having ABS. I was stoked when i found a used bike with ABS and even though it was slightly out of my price range, it was a newer bike that came with a ton of accessories so it was all totally worth it but truly one of the major things that sold me was the ABS. it’s so reassuring.

Just bought an MT-03 yesterday and rode it around my neighborhood for the first time today. Stalled it 4 times trying to get it going in first up a hill. I’ve been driving a standard car since I was 18 but today was my first time on a motorcycle.

[jeffwalker]

Not against antilock brakes but nothing else on my bike. I will control my bike like I have for over 40 years. I actually learned how to ride a bike.

[jerryglennie]

As someone who enjoys the visceral feel of the road, honestly abs is awesome. After that give me the dual analog gages and a gear indicator for convenience and I'm golden

My wife just asked me, is Yammie noobs moustache real? Or is it drawn on? Lmao 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I’m like the old guy that wants my instrument display to be what it was “back in the day”… 2 big dials, a tach and a speedo. This same old guy also appreciates ABS, EFI, traction control, and adjustable suspensions. Any other 50+ year olds caught up in this same dilemma?

[pbofan]

I own a tech-laden BMW, and while there are incidental things I don’t need, that I could do without and experience no real diminishing of safety or pleasure, I’m still glad to have it all. I do get the attitude of liking a more “pure” ride, but for me I can appreciate the technology (TFT, riding modes, Hill Hold, six-axis IMU, TPMS, etc.) and the way it which it can enrich, not distract from, the riding experience.

[Panda_Gibs]

Normally I never feel the ABS on my bike, but when it's raining? Feel it all the time. Sure, that means I need to adjust my habits a bit. But it is definitely saving my bacon, and that's what I paid for.

[victorymanick]

Hey Yammie, just bought a 2014 Daytona 675R last Sunday and I am in absolute love!!! Keep coming with the videos I try to watch them all!

TFT for turn-by-turn navigation in traffic is a safety feature for me.

Rear ABS is complimentary (and downright annoying off road), front ABS however is mandatory for good reason, as Spite demonstrated. Cheapest Hondas would pair a damn rear drum with front ABS disc.
