If you need to stop right away, the bike won't let you. Although I ride my bikes as if I am riding my dirtbikes, but they are bikes and need to stop on a dime.

If you are one to ride in the rain, you should know how slippery the roads get. I used to love burning out through all gears in the rain, that is why I won't ride the ABS bike in the rain. It kills half the fun.
