I'd like to get a touring bike at some point and would likely utilize GPS when I'm in unfamiliar territory. Still don't know why I'd want my bike to brake uncommanded. Also don't care for ABS, but maybe some sort of traction control could increase safety. I can't react to loss of traction as quickly as a machine can.
