Has anyone heard this to be true as well?? Happy scootering Sean Tech 23

There's a summary of the big GTS announcement elsewhere on this forum. Just put ' GTS ' in as a search term and you should be able to locate it pretty easily.

In a car its cool, on a bike, I'm gonna have to say no! just my 2 cents. -larry

ABS brakes will prevent the rear lock-up, and the high-side. That's invaluable. ABS brakes are not a "cure-all" though. They will not work, nor detect, a slide-out in a curve or a slide-out on slippery surfaces.
