Lust says:

Different story on perspectives of other cars. Uncrashable is over stated.

Lord Grief Mc. Scumbag says:

Cagers don’t have to worry about falling over in the corners and those
pricks crash all the time. Amazing technology but try not to overhype it.

En Dos Ruedas UK says:

Amazing. Could you do a more in depth video. In particular on wet surfaces.
Cheers

craig black says:

now do all them tests in the wet

Slorm Raptor says:

the challenge will be accepted only when a woman rides it, if the bike
don’t crash under the hands of a woman then nothing can crash it

HYSTERIA MCR says:

impressive but you shouldnt state is as “Uncrashable” 

TEN4 says:

Where are the hows and whys? You need to get more informative.

William Gleaves says:

Bring on the “idiots!”

BruceMoolee says:

I bet you I can crash it if I want to.. :P

englishmanbo says:

Who does not want beter brakes? why the haters?

sumofl says:

holy shit, imagine how late you could brake into a corner with that.

Tom livesinct says:

Good judgement comes from bad judgement. Bad judgement on a bike can be
fatal. Neanderthals who think installing safety equipment like ABS on
bikes is for pussies should should pack their own parachutes, ride naked
over broken glass, shag the nastiest prostitutes on earth without
protection and criticize the inlaws cooking. Go ahead tough guy. Be a
man. 

Sycho Cho says:

why would a rider brake hard during a bend. thats sucide

Bur Ozt says:

great technology, I would buy this bike for this feature.

Joe George says:

WOW

Jan Wessel says:

Who brakes in a bend anyways?

Eibli says:

MSC really works well in close calls. It save my arse at least 5 times when
I should have skidded with a normal adventure bike, lol~ >.>

simon robinson says:

god smacked at the comments on here.
yes a good skilled rider knows how to brake very well and safely, and
under most circumstances wouldnt even come close to using this system in
everyday riding.
i agree new riders shouldn’t just rely on this new system to bail them out
everyday.
i just can not understand why people are so anti technology that they
wouldnt want to use something that could save their lifes when the shit
hits the fan.

Emergency

bokuwaVegetadesu says:

can someone explain this to me??? the difference between ABS and MSC, and
how does it work? sorry but im new to motorcycle

Rocky Singh says:

Test it on wet road and let us know will it be 100% safe.

opmike343 says:

What’s this? Another super short MCN video with zero real information? I’m
shocked, truly. 

LocoMoto says:

I’m an oldie and I myself wouldn’t use this or any ABS system on a bike…
except in the case of a modern bike, I personaly feel a modern bike should
have options for luxuries and new technology, but also an option not to
have it all.

This can save lives of not only the biker riding it but also other people
on the road! Some technologies are bad and some are good, if you like the
charm of the classic era then get one of those bikes and if you then like
to have som luxuries and modern equipment, then modernize the classic! Your
bike should be personal. :]

DmaxHd says:

Some dingus would still manage to crash it .

Ben Clarkson says:

No explanation. MCN very poor. What a waste of time.

MCN - Motorcyclenews.com says:
Alexander O.Eliasson says:

Will this bosch abs system be available for other bikes in the future?

tom peterd says:

don’t brake or change gear around corners. keep a good steady speed

Sankaran Guru Subramaniam says:

Can this Technology be fitted to any type of bikes?..I had an idea of this
concept yesterday.and now i see its already done..hahhaha..Pretty late..:)

Pe Peroni says:

the system is very good MCN, but dont call it “uncrashable”…people might
believe it..

greg fordham says:

Nice technology but should it really be called uncrashable?

elgranaino24 says:

que es mejor es estard abs o el msc ese?

pstaldzor says:

so how it work.?

Sergiy Ivantsov says:

who needs abs, gotta love seeing the back of your bike left and right 😀
and that tire track you left 

Chris Cope says:

That is pretty awesome. I have a rule that I will not consider a bike
without ABS. Now I think I’ll be looking for MSC.

entyceit says:

put training wheels if u want an uncrashable bike.

Sandro Mazzuia says:

Funzionerà davvero?

281Marauder says:

Is the bike also “unsinkable”?

Anthony Idderis says:

I am a track racer. Having these functions doesn’t mean you’re a pussy. On
track the traffic move in one direction and have plenty of space on the
side if you messed up. But on busy road, its not very forgiving…

Travis Decker says:

Or just stay off your rear brake in the corner

ams914 says:

I like that I’ve learned on non-ABS, but I almost died a few times learning
on it. People that only know ABS will learn improper technique most likely.
Who knows, maybe ABS will take over completely. Probably should. 

Todd Lampone says:

That test rider has got some balls.

Mike Breen says:

Technology moves on, and the luddites always complain. ABS, traction
control, stability control will rarely intervene unless it has detected a
loose nut on the steering. The same people complained about compulsory
seatbelts and in the USA, still complain about compulsory helmets. First
World? You see that VW have now incorporated automatic braking as standard?
That is the stuff that see’s through fog and will brake while you try to
sort out the howling rug rat on the back seat. Of course, being vulnerable
road users, we should be grateful. Good old Germans.

static age says:

God help us… they making bikes easier to ride for idiots!

Mister Robin Hood says:

I don’t even have ABS on my Bike…
Just develop your skills about brakes and you’ll be able to ride every
bikes

XH1927 says:

So… what does it DO? Differently than any other ABS I mean? Not that I
want this, or even conventional ABS, nor combined braking, on any bike of
mine.

Sout Piel says:

how does this make it “uncrashable”? the guy that named this video should
be fired.
