FWIW, the road test reviews on the R1150R have been unanimous in praising it. Also the ABS has received kudos, and the usual complaints about linked brakes have been replaced with - "I could live with THIS linked brake system".
Note that the linked brakes are part of the ABS - you can't have one without the other.
I have never been a fan of linked brakes, and would prefer not to have it, BUT I would definitely go for the ABS with no hesitation, and put up with / learn to live with the linked brakes. Note that they are quite different from previous versions in their actuation and what happens when you press/squeeze whichever.
The R1150R would be a first class choice if that is the style of bike you are looking for.
Enjoy !!
