Parking Your Motorcycle - BMW R 1200 RS 2016 Rider's Manual

cannot under any circumstances
be considered as redefining the
physical limits that apply to mo-
torcycling. It is still possible for
these limits to be overshot due
to misjudgement or rider error. In
extreme cases this can result in a
crash.
Use on public roads
ABS Pro helps make the mo-
torcycle even safer for riding on
public roads. When the brakes
are applied because of an un-
foreseen hazard when the mo-
torcycle is banked for cornering,
within the physical limits that ap-
ply to motorcycling the system
prevents the wheels from locking
and skidding away.
NOTICE
ABS Pro was not developed
to enhance individual braking
performance with the motor-
cycle banked into corners in situ-
ations approaching the limits of
performance.
