Great deal of the accidents involving bikes are situations in which wheels have been lost under braking, and it's particularly common in the fresh to bikes/scooters accident demographic of about 17-25, which covers about 60% of the accident population (might be interesting to know only about 25% of motorcycle accidents are due to other vehicles). They're basically arguing that ABS should be compulsory on bikes to stop these guys from having these type of beginner accidents.
Long as they don't force it to be retrospectively fitted I don't care, I'd certainly not refuse to buy a new bike with ABS fitted, the vast majority of the newer systems coming too fall short pretty much only of professional racers, and I'm sure as hell not good enough to notice any possible deficits there!
