so do i get credit for a stoppie if I was just trying to keep from having some dumb b*$ch in a minivan keep from sideswiping me?

YES!!
also if two dogs run out into the road when you're going 120 and you feel the back tire leave the pavement as you pass them(still going 100+)

Sorry...stoppies not for me. No stunts, no bull****...just pure hardcore good riding. Thanks the key....LOL.:thumbup:

Stoppies are what happened to my stock front end. Well, just one.

Are stoppies still possible with ABS?

 

[Smittyboy]

I would think that they'd be easier with abs... the whole goal of abs is to supply max braking power without locking up the tire... Prolly wrong, but seems to make sense to me.

I read anywhere that the FZ6 ABS starts to work early. So maybe they prevent stoppies by go active. So I just wonder if someone with a ABS FZ6 has done stoppies or not.

I've done a couple unintentionally. 100-0mph in agggggggggghhhhhhhhhh

In fact I did one yesterday. Took the fazer out after riding the (28 year old) Honda 250 for a week or so. In hindsight I'd have said the brakes on the fazer are about 300% better

I did a stoppie with a fz6n 78bhp with ABS on my exams
all good tho, it was a controlled stop at the emergency brake trial.
just don't force it, slowly squeeze it in, moving your bodyweight forward as you stop. (don't get up from the seat, just slightly lean in)
