First bikes I saw with ABS were Goldwings about 8 years ago. Here in Europe, as I mentioned, the gov regulators have made this mandatory. I don't know if deactivation will be possible, but I hope so! This law is obviously to increase security. I'll be willing to bet that in the same time frame TC will be much more common on large displacement bikes and the gov regulators will decide to make a new law. If it is not safety, it will be in place to reduce fuel consumption and emissions. I



Hawk- What you write about is possible and done on a lot of bikes here in Spain, and most of Europe. New riders must be limited 32 cv. for the first 2 years. There are "limiting kits" to reduce hp to 32 cv. Some are electrical and some mechanical depending on the bike. Here in Spain this is documented work that goes along with the bikes license. What happens most time is that the new rider will take his first ride to the mechanic to remove the limiting kit once the bike is registered. So, having the option to have a beginner tuned bike is not something the average 20 year old male really uses...
