And still there's many out there that think they can out-brake an ABS.
BTW, could that bird get any tighter jeans than that?

Gosh the non ABS version looks scary. And her jeans are so tight, the wrinkles are in her skin, not the jeans!

Re: Kymco 300 Test ABS vs No ABS
Must be a zoo nearby, I swear I saw a camel toe...
Interesting test as this represents the planned, repeated environment where ABS whiners say is the last bastion of ABS being beatable by experience - even a scooter ABS beats the trained, prepared riders, even when they swap, even in the dry.
And nothing needs be said about the wet.
I think that finally lays the mythology to rest. And bring on compulsion (it's already coming), it's one time where there simply is no reason for choice, save for the odd situation off road where a rider might need to switch the system off.
There are no off-road adventure maxis... (hmm, market gap? Perhaps a 20-30 year old Honda designer might like to take some drugs and...)

No door is closed to an open mind.
Except a closed door, which a mind can't open, but even a stupid hand can.

Irev! Fab idea! You must work for Honda, or at least take the same 'medication'...there again, an offroad/maxi scoot combo actually may make more sense than a scooter/cruiser combo!irev wrote:

Re: Kymco 300 Test ABS vs No ABS
With the state of the roads on my commute, a twist n go with mild knobblies and long travel suspension would be a winner down the Old Kent Road...
I would of gone for the ABS on my XMax400 if available... but it wasn't...

Don't think I would take the out riggers option. It would certainly hamper my filtering ability.

I saw a beetle bonnet in there I liked, but as regards to off road autos, did anyone see the tmax engine off roader on the net recently!
