I only know from when i did my test that i ended up with an ABS bike on my test......it took allot of the thought process out on a stressful day when i had other things to focus on.....for normal braking i think normal brakes are fine but when the shit hits the fan we can all be caught out or be forced to grab that brake lever.
& i've locked up my front twice so i prob need it...I'm so used to having ABS on cars nowadays.
I did some advanced driving years ago in a truck & we practiced slamming on the anchors & steering round cones whilst still braking using ABS which you can do on 4 wheel ABS....obviously an advantage.......but not sure what trickery you can pull with bike ABS.
I also read here recently that it is harder to do home maintenance as you'd like to do....I'm sure there was an article in an old MCN.
Easiest way to go fast........don't buy a blue bike
