iMotoPilot Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 After owning a couple of 6th gen models, I'm searching for a 5th gen model now. Can anyone verify if the 5th gen either had or was abs an option? Thx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer mk2davis Posted March 24, 2016 Member Contributer Share Posted March 24, 2016 I'm 98% sure ABS was not an option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer Skids Posted March 24, 2016 Member Contributer Share Posted March 24, 2016 Correct, introduced on the 6th Gen. You could try a retro-fit..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Dutchy Posted March 24, 2016 Member Contributer Share Posted March 24, 2016 I once rode a Jawa, must have been the 1st abs motorcycle in the world.... No matter how hard you tried, the wheel would not block...... Nor brake for that matter.... :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer TomP Posted April 2, 2016 Member Contributer Share Posted April 2, 2016 I seem to recall that the Japanese police-spec 5th gen had ABS. Don't know how you'd ever get your hands on it, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer JZH Posted April 2, 2016 Member Contributer Share Posted April 2, 2016 Ah, you are right. The RC49. They probably come up for sale every once in a while in the countries where they were used, though. Won't be cheap! Ciao, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Mohawk Posted April 2, 2016 Member Contributer Share Posted April 2, 2016 If you are really keen for it, then you could fit a 6th gen system, or fit a 5th gen engine to a 6th gen with it already in place ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
