[QUOTE="wfooshee, post: 412803, member: 6354"] Minor point of correction, but passive restraints (air bags or automatic belts - remember those?) [I]are[/I] the law. They wouldn't be there if they weren't, except maybe on the most expensive cars. Personally, I hate them. They're a very expensive solution for a problem I didn't have (religiously buckled up whenever driving), and I haven't seen the airbag system that would protect a person from a second impact, like hitting a car, then a barrier. Now then, would the BMW brake system be a good thing for anybody's bike? Maybe so. I might not have fallen a couple of weeks ago with ABS or a really well-balanced linked system. But if it makes a 7,000 dollar bike cost 11,000, I'd have to maybe drop back and think about it a bit more. Again, maybe an expensive solution to a problem not everybody has. [/QUOTE]
