In principle ABS makes sense. It's been demonstrated time and again that ABS-equipped vehicles stop shorter than those without ABS.
It also makes sense to be able to tune it. Aufitt's real-world experience shows that ABS that doesn't match a track rider's style will get in the way. Tweak it so that it will prevent a highside while still allowing threshold braking, however, and you've got a good safety feature.
The same goes for all the electronic rider aids we're seeing... TCS, wheelie control, slide control, etc.... when done right and tunable, they're great and let you ride both faster AND safer. Just look at the feedback test riders are giving to the new Yamahahaha R1.

I know that the Gixxer doesn't have ABS and that's why I'd ask.
The way to stop with ABS is not shorter than w/o.
But now to the real point of your answer about tweak it, do you really want to say that you are able to tweak ABS?
Everybody from outside the factory MUST keep his fingers far away from everything that is relevant for safety!
Don't you know that even a stiffer shock will change the ABS setup for the worst?
