But the point is that when emergency situations arise, it is NOT guaranteed that you will be able to threshold-brake. Instincts take over, "stop as fast as possible", and you will grab that brake lever with all you've got.
Seems you need more practice.With enough practice threshold braking IS instinct. That's why we practice. A rookie WILL grab the front brake for all he's worth, HOPEFULLY a well practiced rider will not.
I have never owned a bike with ABS, don't want a bike with ABS... and I tucked the front end and went down twice this year... still don't want ABS.
You picked a good one, that's actually one of the easier cars to ride over ?... Ford Taurus makes an unsignalled left turn across your path and you KNOW you are going to hit it. ...
Yes, not all ABS is created equal, they are also limited by the common denominator :/ your brakes, so you better have good ones or that is scarcely an upgrade....
And by the way, there is a world of difference between the old-design ABS systems that could only switch brake pressure on or off, and the new-design systems that can variably modulate it. Some of the cheaper models or older designs are probably still using the old-school designs. My beast of a bike has KIBS, and it just plain stops, no chattering or other nonsense. It can get tripped up by washboard rough surfaces, but the probability of having to do a panic-stop on a washboard surface is low enough that I'd still take the tradeoff.
