Above an old thread from 2016, and really interesting read - in the light of where we are today.
7-8 years past 2016, the manufacturers have gone all the way through gen1 of cornering ABS, into gen2 - some of the more expensive incarnations with amazing results. One motorcycle journalist - aficionado who I trust above average has described that on a 2023 / latest version of the Yamaha MT-09 (a mid-range not very expensive bike !) the rider can simply forget about gravel, oil and other nasty reductions in grip, and brake as much as he wants in the bends. The bike will decelerate amap, and not steer straight and into oncoming traffic no more.
If anybody here has extended "own" experience with such a system, I'd love to hear about it.
