We are just talking, I don't like abs on cars or bikes. Have never set abs off when braking on the road, in a car when needed. Have set off abs when there has been a road surface issue. Having had the brake pedal pulse unexpectedly did more damage to my leg muscles. Note I'm the same person that provokes over steer in cars for fun. This was before drift was a thing.
As for abs on bikes, I like locking/slowing the rear wheel to kick the rear out and help me corner. Did not like abs on telelever BMW. With no transfer of weight to the front as a normal bike. ABS made that process hard to guage as I got it to kick in once, at box hill, and managed to let go of the brake as the pulsing was so unexpected.
Also I think that the stats were that the biggest killer of motorcyclists involved no other road users. Usually hitting road furniture. So how would abs help?

100% disagree. Unless you're a track veteran or a dirt fiend, 95% of riders aren't gonna beat ABS. Not a chance.
Learning tyre limit is something people dedicate a lot of time to. Most people aren't simply gonna do that.
@lynx Yes. ABS is better than the majority of us. Unless you spend weekends replicating Toprak, you're not better than ABS. This is a not even open for contention. The limit is NOT skill. The limit day to day riding is attention span. When shit comes out at you out of nowhere, the limiting factor is your reaction. Is ABS likely to save you more so than your skill and reaction time day to day? I'd say 100%
