I think it's a space issue.

I think it's a problem with the space between the ears.

I have an EX500 and a ZX6r. The EX500 doesn't need ABS; it just needs brakes. Shit don't stop worth crap. Now the 09 6r on the other hand will throw you over the bars with a handful, but I still don't want ABS. Too much weight and cost. Besides if you have good sticky front race tires, you really don't need it. You will fly over the bars before the wheel locks up.

I hope they realize that if this goes through there will be a lot of mods out there for disabling the system (for those that don't come switchable)

The only complaint I have is, how am I going to lay my bike down now??
