mine stops pretty well. :bigthumbsup: haven't had a problem with lock-up. had to hit 'em pretty hard a couple days ago and got stopped right nicely.
ABS on an M109R?
I wonder Suzuki will eventually include ABS brakes on the M109
How're the brakes on the M109 anyway? Are they so awesome that there isn't any need for ABS brakes? :
I don't have an M109 yet, and I was curious about its stopping power

Brakes are right off the GSXR ...more braking power than really needed I would bet.
...more braking power than really needed I would bet.If I remember right, Honda is gonna have ABS on most of their bikes very soon. Suzuki has already added it as an option to cheaper bikes like the sv and dl650 as an option. I think its coming. Adds complexity and cost but it could be worth it. Plus wouldn't you like to go 100mph and just once pull the front brake with everything you had..just once? I don't think I could rewire my brain to try it but it would be funIBJanky said:I wonder Suzuki will eventually include ABS brakes on the M109

Some of the best systems now work pretty well according to all I have read. I believe the latest from Honda and BMW would surprise allot of people to know how well they work. I just think that, like cars, they needed a few generations to make it work better/more seamlessly. They will be the first to tell you that it does not really help when leaned way over, just when going straight or leaning mildly.
I think the hardest thing for them to do is walk that fine line between letting someone good use all their brakes, but save them in the wet, against the everyday rider who would need them to kick in earlier as they don't really have the level of control of the better riders.
It would be great to have for the wet weather that is for sure. A way to shut it off might be nice for expert riders, but even if you made them sign a contract and swear an oath after watching a movie after the 3hr instructor led class someone would still sue the company because it was shut off when they needed it. If they give a way to shut off safety, no matter how idiot proof you make it there is always someone who is MORE of an idiot who knows a lawyer.
I would have paid the extra coin to have it on this bike, as with any others I was thinking about.
