Referring to any custom line 1300, those that have the ABS, those that don't. Pros, Cons? Is it worth the extra money and weight? Not worth it?
Looking on Honda's site, ABS Fury is 1000 bucks more. Bike also weights a whopping 16 pounds more.
Based on a 60hp average, the power to weight ratio non ABS is 11.1 lbs per horse. ABS model is 11.35 lbs per horse.
Doesn't seem like much of a difference but on a bike, every little bit counts.
I personally would rather have seen combined braking, altho with such a small contact patch on the front tire i think the ABS may come in handy. I came from sportbikes so im used to using the front brake for most of my braking. Its always in the back of my head now how much braking the front wheel can take.
Maybe if we get enough interest in a combined braking kits, someone will make it for us??
