  • ABS needed.?

    For me if a Bike is offered wit ABS , then one should go for it. The only accident I was involved was in a FZ on a rural road ,wer the boy who was walking on the side suddenly jumped into the centre of the road , my fnd was the pillion and I was doing 60 then., even though I managed to apply rear first and then front disk which brought the bike to sme 20kmph yet the front disk locked and we toppled down frm the bike but was not hurt much, definitly ABS wouldve stopped the accident tere, So its Safe to have an ABS equipped bike.

    PS: I wil be getting the Std version though bcoz of price constraints due inclining frm a 1.1lakh R15, 1.6lakh is the max Im gonna put on the bike and extra 26k is too much. Dont think it wil cost that much for Honda . Apache is offered wit a very advanced and latest ABS fr just 8k extra. If given fr an extra 15k I wil take the ABS version. Yea 'Safety comes First' is tere. But Im goin to ride it wit a extra caution other than ogling arnd wit an safe ABS one :-)

    • Thanks to all who have read the post. I think its all about few days to get accustomed to ABS braking system and the operating distances. This would suffice to gain expertise as time progresses.

      By the way, there is an on/off option for ABS in vehicles. Does this option also find a presence in our CBR?

            No there's no switch to turn ABS off. But I read somewhere if you really want to turn it off, it can be done by tampering with the brake calipers..

              No. AFAIK, you cannot switch on/off the ABS on CBR. It'll be always in ON condition.

                      Inspect the bike properly and test drive it before you put your official ownership seal on it. All the best and am kind of envious as well.

                      • I'm in a fix.. My dealer said that i can get a Black CBR in 5 days flat. for a Red one, i "might have to wait for another 15 days".
                        I'm thinking i'll wait for the red one... But then again, black looks good as well.. These dealers! Why did he put me in this state of cognitive dissonance?! Why?!!
                        For the time being, i'll wait.. Don't know how long i'll be able to hold on to this decision.. I WANT MY BIKE NOW!

                            I have met with near fatal accident because of skid thrice in my life and whoever has said ABS will delay stop than non-ABS @ 100KMpH is hard to accept. If your bike starts skidding it would be more fast in velocity (almost same speed as the travelling) to strike than a slowed down due to ABS. ABS would atleast slow down the impact even if it doesn't stop. If the biker has a fall because of skid then imagine the accident. I have had 2 hair line fractures on my legs because the bike just fell giving no time for releasing the rear brake.
