Like Crilly, I've practiced a couple of 'panic stops' just to get a feel for the modulation. I could feel a bit but it was no where as pronounced as my BMW was (or my Subaru for that matter). It may be different under other road conditions. This was simply tarmac with a bit of gravel and sand on it. Although, in my experience, this type of surface seems to induce the most noticeable modulation. Most of the gravel around here tends to be uneven, with some washboard tossed in so you are bouncing along anyhow making it hard to discern ABS modulation from road surface. On the other hand, nice clean tarmac has little reason to engage the ABS. Maybe on oily tarmac after a light sprinkle, you'd get a lot more modulation.
