I've seen that video and thought it was strange! I ride the c600 sport Highline 2012 version and can believe him as you can hear the ABS working at 4:12 when he had a little back wheel step out (maybe because of gravel) and ABS taking much breaking power away. All the other corners he was even out breaking the other biker but this one he went very long! I find the ABS way too aggressive, as I'm a hard rider myself and often when hard breaking you go just over a crack in the tarmac that causes the bike to jolt, ABS kicks in making you go long, scary as heak! It comes on too easy, stays on too long and takes too much power way = me hating it and if could turn it down it totally would and I've sure considered disconnecting it as in all my years biking in London and away without ABS I've never needed it in all my emergency stops even in the wet as I don't over cook breaks and know when to release a bit to not lock up.
I had more moment I could've crashed because of the ABS than it being useful!
Apart from that the breaks are sweet I think. ABS is a very good thing I just think this one is too sensitive.

I can't seem to get this video to play!
Was that you? Looks like a nice trip. The guy in the crash video was taking good lines and breaking before corners if you see the whole video even out performing other bikers but at 4:12 you can see an issue, he tried breaking before the corner and seem to have a tiny back wheel lockup then kept going long as ABS kicked in!That's not a brake issue, that's bad riding. He takes about every corner starting from the wrong starting point. Also if you need to brake, which you have to do as little as possible, do it before entering the corner. I think also he was beside the road when he crashed.
I ride like the devil, but like this:
