Not great on a left-hander. Also, how would the system differentiate between individual riding skills? Answer: it can't.
And while it's relatively easy to measure and calculate lean angle, there's no way that technology can determine grip levels which often have to 'felt' by the rider. In a corner - far more than in a straight line - weight distribution and braking force are a crucial part of what makes riding a motorcycle so hard - yet so enjoyable.

Hi Samarth! Just a few questions I hope you might have answers. Most importantly, people generally don't brake at corners except on high speed (that too on corner entry); As far as I know, an ABS enabled bike should let you lean at the maximum possible angle and that too with complete control (Please correct me if I am wrong)
What confuses me is, we lean at high speeds, doing cornering and if brakes are applied (rear in this case), will result in rear tyre losing traction and slipping.
However, if an ABS equipped bike is doing the same thing; we should be able to do that without being slipped. Is that right?
Also, Vinay has mentioned about ABS 9 enhanced version. Doesn't it will provide you the same thing? I mean if its an ABS with the reliability of one brake application, why do we need an altogether separate ABS system for cornering?
I mean in this case, I take corners with applying only one brake at a time...And what it is with the left handers and not the right one? Is it something to do with rider being left handed or right handed?
I would really appreciate if you or anybody else can throw some light on it...
