New Bosch stability control system
« 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.   ::)

current bikes: 2018 16.6 kWh Zero S, 2011 Royal Enfield Bullet 500 Classic, 2009 BMW F650GS, 2007 BMW R1200R, 2005 Triumph T-100 Bonneville, 2002 Yamaha FZ1 and a 1978 Honda Kick 'N Go Senior.
