I think the sport mode would allow the operator to raise the RPM of the shift points. Could be a lot of fun in the twisties. Try for a test ride in the Spring. The ABS would be/could be a life saver IMHO. I do seem to remember the brakes are linked too. The foot pedal activate the rear disc and one front disc. Honda has been perfecting this system for years and I've never heard or read any complaints about it.

I will definitely go for another ride before I purchase, just to see what those shifter settings are all about. The brakes are interconnected and I checked them out during my last ride. If I really got on the front, rear, or both brakes I could feel the ABS apply and release many times a second. Of course I could not lock up the wheels like I can easily do with the rear wheel of my Shadow.
I don't understand what you mean by raising the shift points since both of those modes are for manual shifting only (I THINK), so the shifting would be done by the operator whenever he wanted... I THINK! BUT I AM NOT SURE. I will have to look into this further. A FEW MINUTES LATER: As I think about it, there would be no sense to having these modes for manual shifting, but it would make sense when in automatic. Isn't technology great...always something new to learn.
