Based on a new Insurance Institute for Highway Safety study, which heavily footnotes a bunch of prior studies, it sure looks like ABS brakes not only help newer riders but also help experienced riders. Further, it concludes ABS brakes not only reduce deaths, they reduce the severity of injuries and also reduce crashes. There is some data on motorcycles of the same model with and without ABS showing the feature is effective.
For me, one of the reasons I chose the NC700x in the first place was ABS, another was the DCT. To me the combination just seemed too good to pass up. For me, on a modern street motorcycle, especially a daily rider, ABS is a deal breaker.
The meat of the study is only 13 pages, worthy of effort it takes to read.
