I understand, but don't agree with your argument. I have an older bike, most of the people I ride with have newer ST1300, FJR1300 or BWM RT1200's and all have ABS. These are pretty accomplished riders and most are doing 20,000 - 30,000 km a year and much of this in the US on more demanding roads than we have here in ON. In discussion with these riders all learned to ride on non ABS bikes and rode non ABS bikes for years before ABS became standard on large displacement sport touring bikes. None of these riders would ever consider a bike without ABS as they have experienced the benefit of ABS in wet road situations as well when the occasion deer crosses their paths.
There seems to be a premise that ABS means that you don't know or understand how braking works or how to brake effectively. I don't accept this. Most people with ABS will tell you that their ABS kicks in a couple of times a year. It's there when you need it, but it's not used daily.
In controlled conditions, with advance notice, a skilled rider might be able to beat ABS stopping distances. In real life riding conditions, on a wet road, at 5 PM after 9 hours of riding when a car turns left in front of you with nowhere to go I'd be placing by bet on ABS.
