Yep - that sounds like a ride I had recently. Ran out of fuel - even though display said all was ok - 49 miles of fuel left. Abs light came on and then the ESA failed. Two trips back to Motorbikes 4 All, and a new feul strip, much work to braking system and a new rear shock (or reconditioned one) fr...

My 207 1200rt ran out of fuel in London, shortly after I got the bike. Very embarrassing. I had to wander around the corner to get a new fuel can (£15) and 5 litres of juice.
