I have no interest in debating ABS, we have already been there. And I won't even argue that it is ONE of the best SAFETY features but THE BEST EVER? Think about overhead cams, tubeless tires, single shocks, four valve heads, digital fuel injection, radial tires, KIPASS!
ABS is overrated in my opinion. There are many many ways to get hurt bad or killed on a motorcycle, ABS addresses only one and in a very limited set of situations. My guess is that many of you have a dangerous false sense of security. Oops, I said I didn't want to debate ABS!
are overhead cams a safety feature? how about 4 valve heads, i never heard any one say " thank god for those 4 valve heads and the fuel injection they really saved my ass" Try reading what you type before you hit reply. ABS is the best safety feature ever put on a bike.
