Why are you asking such question?

for the ABS feature, many owners are not prepared for its manja-ness

May I have the timestamp for when he mentions the ABS specifically? Seems to be talking more about modern bikes vs older bikes in general.

Also I don't think it's wrong to want ABS as an emergency feature when riding. Not all of us are MotoGP rider who can control braking down to single digit percentages.

The video doesn't say anything bad about ABS. I was looking into RS/RSX also, but it seems modern injection watercooled kapcai are not getting more reliable. Maybe the foreman sees all the bikes that need repair so all the bad things go to him. I can guess most people don't see issues as well, it's a Honda afterall.

I don't think it's wrong to want ABS. I am just glad that we have a choice, and it's not made mandatory. TS has a valid reason to want ABS - reduce chances of tyre skid in wet.

If someone says 'my existing brake always lock the wheels no matter in dry or wet', then, it's a different matter, right?

ABS saves lives... maybe I have lesser riding experience than some of you, but since 1989 when I started riding (and many cycles of broken bones and changed skins), it does make a difference with or without ABS...

I don't disagree, and have recently tried some ABS equipped bikes as well. I am not pro enough that it takes away my brake feel or what not.

I've seen so many riders tunnel vision and get distracted while riding their bikes.
Or, ham-fisted their clutch and brake levers, often than not over-brake the available grip and lose traction.
Some bikes don't offer much feel to the riders, so it is also difficult to master emergency braking without assist.

Yes, high performance riders and bikes do not have ABS, but we'll leave that to the 0.1-percentile. However, superbikes have cornering ABS, so it is inevitable.

yeah i keep seeing people talk about tensioner in the RSX fb group... dunno what is that also

cam chain tensioner, short is called CCT. is normally spring loaded.
many many bikes have this problem, after a while use, when cold start can hear loose chain sound

some owners will convert to manual CCT on other bike models without the spring.
