Very good.
Who already has ABS? Have you ever had them do the job and save an off? Do you switch them off at track-days?

I had them on the 'Glide, only activated once, which was on the i2i-mc Machine Control/Hazard Perception course. Had them on the R12S and both R12GS's but I don't think they ever activated.
Have them on the Ducati and they've definately saved one. A long left hand bend on a road I knew well. Long grass verges/high hedges so I was only doing about 50 but there was a low-loader I could'nt see, parked just after the corner. Nearly pooped myself but I could see the ABS light flashing on and if it had'nt been for them I would have been on the deck.

No doubt many will say they have superior skills and don't need such technology or that they've fitted some Chinese ebay Blembo Blake Pads that do a better job and only cost 50p. Whatever.

I'd say, if it's an option on a bike you're thinking of buying, choose it.
