I just wanted to confirm that the 2011 NT700v has front and rear ABS? The spec on the honda site is confusing and leads to the conclusion that it has rear only.
Thx

I have a 2009 BMW G650GS.... Also the whole dealer-network thing is appealing on the honda. There is a dealership a cab ride from my house.
I don't believe this is correct. Both front and rear are activated by either brake actuator.
I don't believe this is correct. Both front and rear are activated by either brake actuator. Three pistons front and one piston rear with application of front brake lever. Rear brake pedal applies three pistons rear, one front. It not proportional. This allows performance riding by dragging the rear brake through a corner. Proportional would not allow this. Combined braking includes front and rear no matter what. But more braking force is applied with what you have selected to brake with (front or rear).
SOOOOOOO....be very cautious if you try police officer rear wheel control braking to do tight maneuvers...it could spill ya...
I have just purchased your latest book...I am digesting it..Yours were the first books I read,before I purchased my first bike in '06.I also last week bought a "new" 2008 VFR with full GIVI bags and a top case.I went practicing...slow sharp turns using my back brake...then someone mentioned that perhaps that technique is not as effective if the brakes are linked....like my VFR'r are....your thoughts please....Sincerely Patt.

I stand corrected. It is the "Dual" CBS found on larger bikes with dual front discs that activate a rear piston.
They are referred to as Dual CBS on Honda's information about brake development.
To quote the paper on brakes:
"Dual CBS for large sports tourers
Honda has further advanced Combi Brake, which will work simultaneously on the front and rear wheels by operation of the pedal (left lever) only, to develop dual CBS for application to much larger sports models. Based on the front double disk brake and rear disk brake, this not only brakes the front and rear wheels at the same time by applying the pedal, but also applies braking force on the rear wheel when the right lever is operated. The dual CBS enabled to efficiently decelerate and reduce nosedive. "
HMMM Phil...was that possibly your HEART you felt pump??
