I have older bikes without ABS. You would think a Morgan, having the extra wheel on the ground would have better stopping power than a motorcycle — but then there's the added weight....
I'm always cognizant of my lack of stopping power when on my motorcycle and so leave a wide berth between myself and any vehicle ahead of me. I suppose someone not used to that mindset finding themselves in a 3-wheeler might be forgiven for thinking they were in a car.
Some motorcycles (and cars) have switches to disable ABS and ESP to make them feel more like old ones.
Nowadays, driving a vehicle without these technologies seems crazy. But those machines are not for everyday use: they are a special kind of entertainment for passionate people, those who most likely know what they are doing.
It still happens to be surprised by a situation, like the one top post seems to describe, and even with great experience it can become tricky to stop, with or without technology.
