While all other global motorcycle manufacturers are busy updating their respective line-ups with minor changes, BMW Motorrad is planning something big and really interesting. A few days back we informed you about the German’s new approach for complete safety of motorcycle riders, Safety 360. The upgrades that BMW has planned for its two-wheeler line-up is pretty much based on the principles of Safety 360.
The most important feature that BMW has considering is of offering ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) as standard in all of its models. It is a proactive step as from 2016 the ABS feature will most likely be made mandatory on motorcycles in European countries.
