This is the 1st bike I've owned with ABS and so the 1st opportunity I got to safely test it out I did.

One day, pouring rain I take the bike out and do several runs up and down my street, get her up to 45-50mph and just SLAM ON the brakes (when I got the courage) as hard as I can. Front, back and then both and I was amazed at how controlled and poised the bike was under those circumstances, all the bike did was come to a quick and controlled stop in the wet.

Maybe it is the placebo effect but I don't give a F**k, I feel more confident with the ABS than without it.
