I always admire Honda Tech, be it car or bikes.

BELIEVE it or not, Soichiro Honda applied for a patent for ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) in 1959.

Yes, Honda bikes later gave the world a disc brake in 1969 and now they are changing the world again with the new Combined ABS.

-taken from cbt-

I was quite surprised that ABS originate from 1959 and it's from Honda. And even lambo and Ferrari had to copy the patented Disc brake design from Honda(japs) and now they are changing the world again with combined ABS. So whoever that said that Honda is left behind is totally wrong, cause Honda is actually inventing the Technology and others will follow it. So whoever that is bragging that Honda bikes or cars are not good, they better take the history lesson cause their conti/other japs/ american etc car has something linked with the so hated Honda.
