I just don't see the problem with the ABS.. If you dont like it turn it off with the switch on the instrument cluster. Problem solved. I like the ABS for rain slick roads or even ice. A full blown panic stop may take longer but its also a lot easier to keep the bike up & in control if the wheels aren't locked up. I have hit both brakes as hard as possible on loose gravel at 60 mph & the bike tracks straight & stops quickly. Try that after you pull your fuses! Remember when your on the front brake really hard the rear tire has virtually no stopping power so why lock it up? When it's time to play turn the ABS off. You don't need ABS offroad, front or rear.
