I was never a big fan of electronic gizmos on my motorcycles, but my Super Tenere has both ABS and Traction Control and I'll tell ya, I love 'em now.

I wouldn't mind having ABS at all. I can count a few times in the past where I wish I had them; one that could have ended really bad if I didn't force myself to pump the brakes. (I'm looking at you rainy weather rail road tracks)

Oh hells yeh I wish I had ABS, I've had a few close calls. Namely when I locked my rear up while passing trip on a bridge when he swereved back into the right lane after he waved me to pass him. And then this past winter when I locked up my front on ice.
