That's a good point. On a sidenote, in some parts of my country, many people were still more favorable to all-around drum brakes on small motorcycles before ABS started becoming available. Besides a handful of 125 to 160cc utilitarian motorcycles, nowadays it's nearly impossible to find anything without discs all-around, and between 150 to 250cc some feature ABS at least on the front brake.
