True, the Baja has no ABS and that's fine- but ABS doesn't cause any issues I've ever heard about- especially when it's disabled. Other than that, the Baja is identical to the other 990s (oh- stickers) with all the other electronic bs. And that includes the White 2011 990, the finest motorcycle ever conceived by nonspecifichigherpower. The entire ABS system is just another mode of failure at a few different points. With no system, less potential problems on the trail. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The 2108 500 300 and 1090 are all superior. Lets ride big bikes next weekend. Im on a small bike ride in Big Bear this weekend. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Um. Sorta. The ABS can fail and the bike still goes and stops just fine. In fact, I have a button on my dash I installed to make it fail so I can do bitchen rear-wheel induced powerslides I take your point- it is an additional system. But compared to any number of systems those bikes have, the abs is of least consequence, and probably the most reliable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
