OK they're not Forzas, but they illustrate precisely why it is madness to buy the non ABS model.

Seems reasonable to me. But I'm sure many will argue against ABS for countless reasons.

And.....
We have countless reasons to ride scooters that are less safe than a cage.
By the same logic, it is madness to ride a motorcycle/scooter.
Guess I'm mad!!!!!! :lol:
But, ABS is the better choice if we are to remain in our madness.

Okay guys. :) Points made.
2 more please: Must one get the "feel" for using ABS brakes? What's the "feel" difference between our PCX combi brakes and ABS?
