I would love ABS on the rear brake, mine seems that if you don't give it enough pressure it doesn't work and if you give it just a little too much it locks up.

The front however, i'd like a little more control over and you really don't get that with ABS.

ABS on bikes can be different though. In a car the front tires actually lock up for a split second and then the abs pump modulated them(similar to "pumping" the brakes on a car without abs), but if you lock up the front wheel on a bike even for a split second it can be disasterous.

Supposedly honda will have ABS standard on all road bikes by 2010/2011
