one of the reasons i jumped ship from a gen 1 to a gen 2 was i wanted abs. its worth it on any bike imho, the yamaha system is the best ive tried, and waaay bwtter than the honda system on my cb1300. brakes are blimming marvellous just as they should be....you honestly dont know its fitted on the fz1, apart from you cant lock the front no matter how hard you brake in the wet. my last two offs were from locking the front, its so easy done on a bike and its down instantly.as the man says, cant think of 400 quid better spent...
