yeah I saw a comparison between non abs and the abs version... over like 16 attempts the ABS version stopped 20' shorter the first... 17' the second... and on... wasn't until the last stop... did they match the abs version.... and that was with a 20 year riding veteran... the new biker never came with in 5' of the abs version after 20 trys.

and every one of them said it didn't kick in until the last possible moment... so they didn't notice it otherwise.

can't remember where the fuck I saw it though... I think it might have been one of the British mags.
