One can't be too careful when riding a motorcycle, and Honda knows this for a fact. That's why the Japanese manufacturer has upgraded their 2003 Gold Wing with extra braking versatility by adding ABS to the existing linked braking system. While the stock trim of the bike sees the braking power intelligently distributed between the wheels, the GL1800A adds shorter stopping distance on the roads and increased stability when braking hard on difficult, slippery surfaces.
