Stoppie on a R1200RT

[cwsenn]

On my way into work this morning I was getting on it and then hit the front intergrated ABS brakes so hard I actually did a stoppie with the rear wheel coming about a foot off the ground according to my friend whom I was stopping hard to BS with a bit.
I have never done that before in my life and would not intentionally do it again. It was kinda cool though and not scary at all.

Have you ever done this on a RT?:dance

I did it accidently when a cage pulled out in front of me. I don't know why it does it. One would think that as soon as the rear wheel left the ground the antilock brakes would release. unless it is smart enough to just release the rear brake with out affecting the front brake.

The ABS disengages at some point prior to a complete stop so this is possible.

Teaching the ERC I see it on BMW ABS bikes all the time, although I must say I think the rear wheel comes up less than a foot.
