2 dont you mean?
Actually to think about that one on the SV - if you had ABS at that time it may have saved you in that situation. P*ssing with rain, sharp corner ahead, big horse poo in the middle of the road... hand full of brake and it probably would have stayed up right still with you taking the corner. It's not hard to see the benefits.
I think everyday riding they have some good applications but I would really want to see how it feels when it comes on a few times before making any decisions on it. I know on the car it can be quite unerving when you are in a hurry to stop (especially in the wet) and all of a sudden it starts juddering away. Put that on a bike and there is even more to think about (in terms of consequences) so I can imagine it would be quite a suprise if you are not used to the feeling of the ABS kicking in.
