whoa, I can't imagine what ABS would feel like on a motorcycle.
Imagine airbags!
Honda just recently announced their first motorcycle airbag. They have made it work. I don't know how, and I don't know if it is on the market just yet, but it will be soon.
That is a distinct possibility, but then again it is like a car or airplane. It only does what you tell it to. If you don't ride it fast, then it isn't fast.
AIRBAGS?!? No way! God, that's kinda scary. I could almost see integrated airbags in a leather jacket, but not as a bike accessory. Oh well, I'm sure Honda knows better than me.

Looks like death on wheels....
Yeah, it does.
The rider is important of course, but so is the number of people on cell phones driving around you.

In this case, death is looking pretty attractive.
Yeah, I don't know how it works. Maybe it is like a bubble that surrounds the bike or something. LOL!
They have them for airplanes now too. They are integrated into the seatbelt, and look like one of those seatbelt pads. They inflate when acceleration forces (or deceleration forces for that matter, reach 9 g's), and they basically extend upward from your lap belt towards the roof, to cover your body as you hit the control yoke and panel.
I don't know, the fairings make it look like it had its nose pushed in. It just doesn't have a swooping to it that makes it look longer. I'm sure it performs amazing though. Minus ABS. Screw that crap. With as many people that pull out in front of me on my bike sometimes I just need to lock it up.
