    Anyone else own a BMW g650 or f650 with abs? It keeps trying to kill me! That thing has to have the worst abs system on the planet. Rather then stopping u from crashing, its more likely to cause an accident, and I'm not too sure if its functioning correctly or whether they are all just pony

    I did have a 650gs Dakar as a winter hack, a couple of years ago.
    It didn't have ABS, well not officially, but after being used to riding the 675 all summer the brakes felt like they didn't even slow me down let alone lock up.!
    The engine felt agricultural, and the handling was pants.
    I sold it in the late spring (at a small profit) & will not be bothering with one again.

    Sorry, not much help. :oopsoops:

    Lol, that's how I feel about the bike, feels so old school! The best bit is the fuel economy and the heated grips which cam e into their own of late. Cheers for trying
