Actually... I'll try to find the artical I read... they tested stopping took a rider with 20+ years of riding experience and a race license 6 try's to stop as quick as the ABS equipped 600RR with a non abs 600RR.

too 8+ times for a novice rider and even then the ABS bike was still over a meter shorter.

yes... human skill can stop as quick with practice... but when that OH SHIT moments come... the ABS doen't have a "bad run"... ya know?
