 Abs system is 'linked' front and rear. when appplying rear brake on uneven road surface, the abs misreads the traction loss as wheel slip, and releases the brakes. the bmw rt1150 requires greater stopping distances than non-abs equipped bikes. the brakes are dangerous, and bmw knows this, the police version is equipped with the 'unlinked' version, for safety according to the official bmw webside ad for the police, or rt1150rt-p model.*ak
