Bob - your beliefs about old-gen and new-gen ABS are interesting, but they don't come across as particularly well-informed. Modern ABS on a number of bikes is even incorporating lean angle to more accurately modulate the brakes if the bike is turning at the time. It gets better every year, and has done so for decades at this point. If something is truly broken on your CSC - take it up with them and figure out whether they have worked out the bugs enough to sell it safely and broadly to the US market. If there really is something wrong with it, the avenue to deal with it is NHTSA to get them tested and recalled as a group. But I also wouldn't extrapolate everything you're seeing on one of the cheapest Chinese-branded bikes available, to what is generally on offer from any major motorcycle brand.
