Interesting, it just makes me afraid that like car conveniences have done, it will make things worse as riders get lazy.

In the old days nothing turned your lights on\off and if you couldn't drive in wet you died.

However bikes are not as forgiving as cars.  Get lazy on a bike and you die.

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the air—these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

Could happen I guess, but I doubt it. A moto has a lot of different ways to kill an inexperienced/lazy rider where ABS will be of no value. To me, ABS is useful for panic stops...and worse, panic stops in the rain...when even the best of riders can be startled and lock things up.
