The same can be said for "poo-poo"-ing technology just for the sake of
putting it down. I bought my first BMW 33 years ago; it was a new R75/5. At
the time, I couldn't imagine that anything could ever be better than that
bike, but I was wrong. They have been improving all along.  The BMW ABS
systems just keep getting better all the time. Three of my bikes don't have
ABS at all, but I wish they did. Two of my bikes do have ABS II; not the
latest or the greatest versions, but fabulous none the less. In the
meantime, I take test rides when I can to see what I'm missing, and look
forward to the day when my budget can swing one of the latest.
