It's difficult to find examples of motorcycles 30-0 times listed anywhere reliable let alone 28. However there are plenty of places you can find car 30-0. A few examples:
911 Carerra GTS: 27 feet

New BRZ: 28 feet

Evo X and 335i: 29 and 27 feet respectively

So you (drac) are awesome enough to stop in barely over half the distance of these cars despite the cars ability to just slam on the binders and let the abs and massive amounts of rubber do the work for you. Impressive.
Oh, and here's a study done by the MSF on a few different bikes comparing ABS to no ABS. Lucky for us it lists 30-0 stopping distances (though its listed in kph). Guess what, the absolute best result was over 34 feet. (they list it in meters btw)

Somehow I doubt those 2mph extra more than double the stopping distance.
