    I remember the first Urban Tiger paint job. I loved it. My Mrs hated it.

    So I never got one.

    I've got an 09 with C-ABS which i've only had for 2 months, i tried the brakes hard in the rain and had no issues at all.

    If you've brake hard and never use the rear brake on a normal bike, then use one with the C-ABS it feels strange as you can feel the rear drop down when you brake hard going into a corner.

    I've never used the C-ABS on a trackday yet but my brother uses his rear brake loads on his Aprillia RS250 (2 Stroke with no engine braking)
