Well, LR and Ferret can tell you my 2014 non-ABS rear will let you slide right through an intersection LOL.
My son learned the hard way too the first time on it in Chicago...almost slid through a light as I was following eck! Not a good time to be watching.
On my K1600 I was trying to still use the rear...like 80% front and 20% rear but found my rear sliding going into some of those wonderful NC curves!
After talking to the group, no one ever touches the rear so I now do the same EXCEPT like Gone in 60 said, becomes necessary for tight U-Turns.
I will say I think a lot about Ferret's rear master cylinder locking up his rear wheel...I think too much ;-)
