I was taking my lead on that bike from Sergio - he wrote the technical specs on the K1300...
That sounds famaliar, oh yeah, I been saying the same thing the whole thread................

I don't have any first hand knowledge of the K1300, but the R bikes are pretty much the same system.

Honda's ABS on the Goldwing and the CBRs are pretty close in operation to the R bikes as well.

Basically, there are plenty of bikes out there that do use ABS on the rear.
