    I’ve had a few years off the bike due to an injury that has only recently improved. So I started my bike search yesterday.
    My bike was a 10 blade non abs.
    I’ve read a while back there are 2 makes of ABS, one being a Bosch which is ok, the other I don’t know, but it was the earlier one which was a git.
    Is this ringing any bells?
    What year did the better Bosch one come out on the blade
    Thanks for any help x

    The abs system didn't change until the latest model 2017 onwards. Avoid the abs models on anything earlier

    Thankyou. I didn’t realise it changed as late as that, I’ll be avoiding the earlier ABS. ✅ x

    I had the 11 abs...absolute nightmare! Got two 16 plate non abs now and they're spot on. If you're ok with non abs I can recommend the 2014 onwards as the small upgrades made a difference to the older 10/11 plates

    Totally agree, ABS on the CBR600RR was a nightmare - unreliable feel to the front lever, which was also evident on a 2016 blade sp that I test rode.. if I ever get another 600 for a track bike or similar I’d go for a non abs.
