Means you'll be able to steer while heavily braking so sounds worthwhile to me

No. Physics still apply to bikes with ABS. Do not steer and brake hard at the same time.

I'll remember that then if a rather larger van pulls out on me.  hit the foccer as mustn't steer while brakes are applied even if abs  [size=78%]  [/size]

1.

If you are relying on technology to ride your motorcycle faster, you do not have the necessary skill to ride fast in the first place... SO DON'T.[/size][size=78%][/size][size=1em]Just as a wee footnote, I think that ABS and other technologies are beneficial to us bikers. I seen some testing at a BMW facility in Germany in 2010, and used by a pro, these additions are excellent. However, having them on your bike does not make you a better rider. Only being a better rider makes you a better rider. And ham fisted panic braking is not the mark of an expert [/size][size=78%][color=rgb(84, 84, 84)]

[color=rgb(84, 84, 84)]I think you took my mention of steer to literally which I'm actually surprised about if you've been riding/driving a reasonable time.  I wasn't suggesting going out and doing figure of eights with throttle wanged fully open in the middle of highstreet wearing a cape shouting look mum I've got ABS [/color]
