Don't have it and have been riding for 45 years without it, so just exactly what am I missing here? Braking in a panic stop is an art that starts with using both brakes and knowing how much brake to apply, for me it is second nature. I don't know what I am missing so I guess I don't need it. If it works for you great, hope the money was well spent.

I have it...For me it's sort of like an insurance policy, you hope you never need it, but you do have it just in case.

Wouldn't ride a motorcycle here on the East Coast without it. It saved my life a few years back when I rode BMWs

I have it, and this is the first bike that I've had with it. ABS has saved my A$$ twice already. It works really great.

I have it one one and not on the other. I haven't used it yet, probably should test it out but hope I never need it.
