It seems that Bosch is still number one manufacturer of advanced ABS for motorcycles. Performance over years - straight and in a lean - up, up, up. Weight of the units down by 90%, design system lifetime now 65,000 miles. And yes ... what I describe here is not breaking news.
But I think the table below is worth a consideration (with a little help in translation, since Bosch is a German privately owned company and their main market is Japan):
- the table's title : braking in panic, from 45 mph
- on the left 3 different bikes[/code], with ABS on and off ("ohne")
- Kurven-ABS is synonym for the latest generation
- bank angle shown on top
A green result shows safe values, yellow is critical, red is ...
One interesting result is shown in row 2, the KTM with regular (older type) ABS. Beyond 30 deg even the pro/s go down. This means I will go down beyond 25 degrees lean.

I assume that adding ABS (of any sorts) to a 2013 CB without ABS is simply a pain, but I wouldn't be surprised if modern lean ABS became soon available as an upgrade to modern bikes already equipped.
