Motorcycle ABS availability by make and model

Whether you're buying your first motorcycle or your 10th, consider purchasing one with an antilock braking system. These systems can be as light as a pound and a half and intervene only in an emergency.

With ABS, riders can brake fully without fear of locking up. The technology has been shown to reduce fatal crash rates by about a third. More information on the benefits of ABS is available in the motorcycle topic area.
