They mention ABS several times as a safety feature. I agree that it is. My Road Glide has ABS. It will freaking stop on a dime. If you've got ABS, you need to take some time stopping hard in a safe place, because it feels really weird when the ABS kicks in. If you're not used to it, it might freak you out.

North Texas had some beautiful weather this weekend. Wasn't able to get out until today, but it was a great ride.

ABS would be really cool to have, especially on a sport bike. Something else that's great (but not necessarily on a sport bike) would be the linked braking. Far too many riders have this idea that if they use the front brake hard, they'll flip over (a possibility on sportbikes - I locked up my front wheel at 70MPH on the highway once, but I didn't flip! - That was the last time I ever used more than 2 fingers on my Ducati's Brembo brakes!) and then there are some people who are afraid they'll low side if they use their rear brake... If they take an MSF course, they'll learn how important it is to use both brakes properly. My favorite part of the MSF beginners course was locking up the read wheel! :-)
