[QUOTE="mcatrophy, post: 1394683, member: 3187"] No bike can stop quickly with only the rear brake. The FJR [I]appears[/I] to do better than many because of the rear-to-front linking. I'm on my 4th FJR, from my experience (or what I can remember of my experience), the ABS has behaved very similarly on the '06 and the '10, seemed to operate at a more rapid rate with the '14, but still conservatively. With my '18, it seems, as Redfish Hunter suggests above, less intrusive. Maybe this is what led to sufficient slip angle of the tyre on the road to cause actual skidding, or maybe it was several rapid transitions from grippy to slippery and back that I've not experienced before (unlikely). What I can say is that, without the ABS, and since I lack Redfish Hunter's Mad Skillz, I would have had a great deal of trouble stopping in the distance I did as well as keeping the bike upright.
