I will just get the best quote out of that article:

Here's a neat little picture of the brake system with ABS that shows brake and sensor lines running from the valve/pump setup to both wheels.

The bike that we were talking about in the booth was the K1300S HP edition. The GS's are linked - front works front and rear, rear works rear. It's why there is an ABS off button on your left thumb. Essentially, the GS is seen as a dirt option. On dirt you will sometimes want and need to lock that rear.

I was taking my lead on that bike from Sergio - he wrote the technical specs on the K1300...

Gas, I don't understand what you mean about the HD ABS - it's linked or it's not linked?
