The problem with their conclusions are simple. First most ABS or nearly all they used are the first generations. Which means the rider is more experienced, more mature and can PAY MORE for the Bike. Remember the most crash bikes are Sports bikes in an age group of 18 to 30 yrs old. And these generally don't have the experience or $$$$$ nor desire to own a GOLDWING, BMW or other ABS type bikes. So, in my opinion their results really don't mean much. It would have been better to compare the same bike with ABS vs one without :2cents:
