I agree!!!!

Back on topic...

Well I don't agree - having now clocked up almost 1800km in 10 days on my new bike which has TC & ABS, ridden everything from sticky hot suburban streets, winding mountainous curves and absolutely bucketing rain I have not felt either system kick in once because I ride to my limit - not the bike's limit.

I know some people in the Ninja community who seem to have forgotten the first rule about throttle control and just pin the gas mid corner, hammer the brakes as hard as possible at the last minute, and intentionally provoke wheelies to test the system... but not me. My attitude to electronics is the same in cars as it is on bikes. Knowing that it could potentially save me from disaster in an emergency situation gives me a certain peace of mind, but I would only ever want it to work right before shaZam! is about to get heavy - not on the exit of every apex.

Seems kinda hypocritical that the dude in the video @1:03 says "take responsibility" just as he's powersliding his bike. In all honesty, I think Suzuki has an inferior and overpriced product in the GSX-R1000, compared to the Kawasaki, BMW, Yamaha and now Honda supersports bikes. Inferring that you have LESS control on a bike with electronics is a steaming pile of bullfrog, especially when these bike are built to be ridden on the ROAD!
