Extremely twisty back road VS GSXR 1000R!

What road? looks really nice!

[@nicoj3660]

Nice roads. Reminds me of hwy 9 in california surrounded by redwoods and stuff.

Me laughing in Swiss, when you call this "extremely twisty", but beautiful bike.

What road is this?

What do u mean the abs wont let you brake in time ? I thought abs broke harder but took over completely?

@@lynxeffect84 after doing research on this myself, I found out that ABS is supposed to help you break as hard as you can without locking up the rear, but most of the time it overcompensates and makes the brakes too weak and plus other scenarios throw it into the mix like rear tire lifting off the ground from heavy front brake or lean angle makes the breaking capabilities even worse. I would prefer to be able to fully lock down my brakes if needed and then manually adjust myself from there. owners manual it actually states that it may not break as quick as non-ABS bike which is very bizarre They would admit that.

[@ridingtherr0502]

@@chase1up_2.0 This is true as abs would only help preventing the lockup by pulsing the brake pressure, which would not be as smooth as non ABS maximal braking, aka threshold braking.

@@chase1up_2.0 Have you ever actually hit the brakes hard enough to lift the rear tire up? And would you be able to do that in a panic situation? If you brake properly ABS will barely cost you any braking distance. If you just hit the brake hard in panic the ABS interference costs you quite a bit of distance compared to good threshold braking, but on the other hand if you hit the brakes like that without ABS you just crash.

[@chase1up_2.0]

@@Techii96 if you need ABS to keep you from crashing, you need to reevaluate how you’re riding. Like I said ABS is nice for cruising around but when you’re racing, I want to be fully in control instead of my bike, trying to decide how much breaks it’s going to take away from me depending on the situation. I’ve been riding / racing for 10 years and never needed it before. 👍🏻

[@Techii96]

@@chase1up_2.0 I never needed it aswell and my machine lifts the rear wheel before the ABS intervenes but I have also never been randomly cutoff where I needed to brake hard to a stop without being prepared for it. I take the 1-2m extra braking distance of the ABS for the comfort of knowing that it might save me in case I ever do panic.
