Dear friends,
I am just about to buy a new XJ6 Diversion. Although I am willling to buy it with ABS, some friends have told me that ABS in sport bikes are in some dry situations a bad option because the break distance gets longer when the ABS is activated so there is a better chance to crash against a car for example.
Lets say you are in city traffic and the road and weather conditions are good. A car crosses you way. An experienced rider can break the bike without ABS in a shorter distance than with ABS because de ABS gets activated and takes 10 meters to stop the bike versus 5 meters for the non ABS version. Therefore, there is a better chance to crash with ABS.
Is it true?.
Does the ABS system get activated before time?
How does the ABS of the XJ& work?. Is it a modern and advanced system?
Thank you for your advice.
