If you go over to a goldwing forum, it all the guy talk about if you are getting a new bike get ABS. When i first got my 2003 i had a cage pull out in front of me, worked the brakes hard and fast as one end started to lock up moved the to the other end. i got around the cage. I have the ABS on the 09. I have had them on the car i believe
I did just have a lady hit me in the side never did get to get on the brakes, instade tried to get the Edit\ out of the way
