Not the average Joe...a former amateur racer friend who does track days in Spain with some very quick people. They mostly have S1000 or Panigale and they all switch off the electronics.
I've ridden quite a few sports bikes on the track (used to race endurance with the above friend) but my road bikes have mostly been BMs with ABS2. I've had Aprilias and a KTM as road bikes, but never had problems with their ABS, so I don't know anything about it!

Your mate does not count as an average Joe.
Know that the race schools like Ron haslam and Cali all teach braking first on non abs bikes. But that was a while ago, so things have changed.
Does the panigale have the ECU that can tell which race track it is on. Hence set the engine up for the track? Or is that just the desmo or was it publicity rubbish?
Oh and wasn't there some contraversy about some super race bikes having ECU traction control.... remember that was the bikes sounded like they were misfiring coming out of bends.
Am just nattering.

Not sure about the average Joe being better than the computers. Then I've never liked the linked abs as fitted to many bikes.
What if you knew no better? As this is all you have ridden? H100 had shite brakes and terrible rubber.
