History[edit]
1988 BMW sold for the first time an electronic/hydraulic ABS for motorcycles, ten years after Daimler Benz and Bosch released the first four wheel vehicle ABS for series production. Motorcycles of BMWs K-100 series were optionally equipped with the ABS 1 which weighed 11 kg. It was developed together with FAG Kugelfischer and regulated the pressure in the braking circuits via a plunger piston. ,[1][2] The first Japanese maker selling motorcycles with ABS was Honda. Honda equipped the ST1100 optionally with an electro/hydraulic ABS module in 1992. The second Japanese OEM was Yamaha that same year. They fitted an ABS on the GTS 1000. Suzuki presented the Bandit with an ABS for the first time in 1997. Continental presented its first Motorcycle Integral ABS (MIB) in 2006. It has been developed in cooperation with BMW and weighed 2.3 kg.[3] While the first generation of motorcycle ABS weighed around 11 kg. The current generation (2011) presented by Bosch in 2009 weighs 0.7 kg (ABS base) and 1.6 kg (ABS enhanced) with integral braking.
