wodger Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 Hi, I am in the market for my first bike and have decided on a new FZ6 Fazer. Question I have is whether I should stump up the extra few hundred for the ABS option? Does the ABS really make much difference? I know from car driving I never (if ever) use the ABS, is this any different for a bike? Many thanks Warren Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish that I had spent a bit more and got ABS model. To me its definately worth the extra money.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoda Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 Go for the ABS, it will give you a bit more security and when the time comes, perhaps enhances the sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guernseybozrah Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 I've never had a Yam with ABS but both my current bikes have it and to be honest won't buy another without it. You have to decide why would you want it, me, I use my bikes to go to and from work as well pleasure, so when the tyres are cold and the roads are wet you don't want to lock up but still need maximum breaking in the safest possible scenario. Honda bikes will all have the option available including the Blade in the future, its the safest way to go.........that only my own personal opinion for what its work. As and when I get my FZ1 Fazer it WILL have ABS be sure of that. GB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CurlyGirl Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 I had never had ABS before my 08 FZ1-N and decided to go for it. I ride all year so it seemed like a good plan! Especially as on my daily commute to work, people have a particular liking for pulling U turns without checking for bikes, the numpties... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wodger Posted May 30, 2008 Author Share Posted May 30, 2008 Thanks for all the responses, much appreciated. I am off to Webbs Yamaha tomorrow to hopefully put a deposit down on an FZ6 with ABS. Thanks again and I will be in touch once I take delivery of my first bike!! Warren Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
