Why not ABS?

[Builtdesign]

I know that Eric isn't one to copy or follow trends, as the rest of the m/c world is mostly going with abs brake systems. But I was in class today learning about m/c abs systems and how effective they are in inclement weather. Seems like it would have been a good thing to have on a bike, especially something like a Ulysses. Just kind of putting it out there...couldn't find any other threads here on this topic, just some from another forum of non-bueller who didn't know what they were talking about

I'm bringing back this question I guess; just found your thread as well...

"abs will only help if the bike is straight" - @mcdonald1983, that's no longer true.

It is true for most bikes still (2023), but using an IMU is getting more common.
Once you add a 5 or 6 axis IMU it is a COMPLETELY different planet. Ever wonder why a mid-level adventure bike needs 'slide control' LOL. Things are advancing, but as this 14 year old thread proves.... it may take a bit longer before you can bolt one on to whatever your new infatuation motorcycle is.
