Hello, I ask you for your opinion and experience. I am currently driving a cbr 600 f with 97 hp (for insurance reasons) have torn down 25,000 kilometers with the planer and think about changing to a 1000 rr for the next season (approx. 2009 year). 1. Question how important and useful is the ABS at the Fireblade? 2. should I even start with the monster right after the start of the season or is the risk to survive the whole thing not unscathed. n no risk driver in road traffic but I’ll let you out on the highway or country road. What I’m not “emotional” for luck even if I’ve had some stress or a fight I try to let you out as soon as I sit on the machine. Is the change useful? if yes with or without ABS? is there a particularly good or bad year of construction around the year 2009? Thank you for your answers and never drive faster than the guardian angel fly can!
