[QUOTE="FJR1300Mark, post: 266212, member: 6180"] I had an 05. It had ABS but was not linked. I now have an 07 which is ABS and linked. I was sceptical about the linking, but after riding 1900 miles I do not notice the linking with any of the normal riding. I have made some quick (non emergency) stops and have not noticed the linking there either. I driven short distances on sand and the front tire doesn't bury itself either when using the back linked brake. The normal sport - touring riding experience and safety is increased with ABS and these linked brakes. I also have a CB750 - carbs, drum rear brake- you know the old tech stuff. I ride it knowing I can lock the back wheel even with drum brakes. And I know it wont stop anywhere near as fast or as securely as the FJR even though it is quite a bit lighter. I still enjoy the lack of technology at times. However I sure feel better knowing the fjr has the stopping power it does. There really isn't a perfect bike or I'd have just one and not be thinking about another one. [/QUOTE]
