Let's ask Major Softie if that guy would likely have been able to lock up the rear tire without unweighting it first by using the front brakes. Major Softie had a bike from that series of Ducati. A friend let me ride his Paul Smart and the rear brake had the weakest feel of any motorcycle I've ridden.

ABS would have prevented this?

Re: ABS would have prevented this?
Since the Paul Smart was designed to carry only a single rider, it has the Ducati norm very weak rear brake, thus to make it not too sensitive under heavy front brake.
My GT1000 had more effective rear brake. A little less sensitive than most BMW's, but nothing like the Paul Smart.
