The 0-140-0 tests were done be MCNews in March '93. Rider magazine did 60-0 tests where the GTS was consistently stopping in less than 90 feet. They said they had never seen any results like this from any car or motorcycle. Lastly, here's a link to the Internet BMW site where they have a MCNews ABS test. The GTS is not included, but it's interesting to see where and for who ABS was an advantage. http://www.ibmwr.org/prodreview/abstests.html Fred
