My BMW has unswitchable ABS (it's not a GS it's an RT) so I became used to being able to trail brake when riding fast in the mountains. I was very concerned I'd drop my new (used) Wee because it had no ABS. Now that I am used to not relying on ABS I do not miss it in the dry. I would love to have it don't get me wrong but I have to remind myself to leave the rear brake out of the mixx when riding hard in the twisties . The Wee really doesn't need ABS in my view as the brakes are so linear on mine and so easily modulated right up to the limits of adhesion I believe I can stop safely without ABS on most surfaces and let's face it ABS can do only so much and physics takes over. I suspect that large loose gravel would be a bad idea with ABS turned on. There are kits to make it switchable and If I ever got an ABS model I would seriously consider making it switchabe. All BMW dual sport designes are switchable I believe.
