Title: New Bosch stability control system
Post by: Richard230 on September 24, 2013, 09:37:57 AM

Bosch has just announced a new motorcycle stability control system that will be fitted to KTM motorcycles and (it is claimed) can be retrofitted to their 2013 models.  This is the first ABS system that is designed to prevent low-sides when cornering, as well as a lot of other rider-induced riding problems - such as wheelies.  I figure that it is only a matter of time before Google makes a motorcycle that will drive itself so that you won't have to do anything but sit on it and enjoy the scenery as you ride along.   ::)

Here is a short video by the British magazine Motor Cycle News showing how the system works when cornering:
