I would agree. If my fingers weren't covering the brake, I definitely would have collided with the van with that ~1.5ft left I had in front of me. Practicing and regularly using the rear probably helped a bunch as well. I didn't feel the rear abs go off - is that a good thing? lol
Under hard braking with front on the Ninja 300, the rear gets so light that it will lock even during downshifting only (while not revmatching and not rear-braking). So, it's only natural that rear ABS kicks in in that scenario.
