I am a VERY experienced rider. I also KNOW that I am not perfect; can't walk on water. I'm not against ANY tech that will save my booty on that day that I KNOW is in my future when all of my skill is not enough. That being said, I HATE linked brakes & love the fact that the Tenere allows the use of rear brake only.

This system seems to function in much the same way as the BMW system on the S1000RR. Perhaps Bosch makes both systems. A few years back Keith Code wrote an article about his experiences when he switched from using the Ninja 1000 to the S1000RR as a training bike at his road racing school. (One anecdote: a friend has a S1000RR and decided to test the system. While riding in the rain, with the bike in the Rain mode, he gave it full throttle while heeled over in a corner. With 196 HP available one would think he'd have a poor result, but the bike barely accelerated until he was out of the lean.) Code said, if I recall correctly, that the average student's initial lap times and graduation lap times were not significantly different between the two bikes. What did change dramatically was the number of wrecks by riders throughout the course. On average riders were 50% less likely to wreck on the S1000RR. So I guess that if you figure in the lap times of laps that were never completed the S1000RR system does make a difference. Systems like this won't turn you into another Valentino Marquez, but they may save your hide.
Ha ha ha ha. Valentino Marquez. That was good !
