ABS brakes. That’s what the cops use. :thumbup
ABS does nothing for stopping smoothly. ABS or not, one must learn to gradually release the brakes as the bike slows and approaches a stand still. It's all in modulating lever and pedal pressure.
Another skill is learning to shift smoothly so that one doesn't notice any jerk or jolt when shifting up or down. Essentially, making it seem as if you're riding a bike with a very smooth automatic transmission. You know that you've got it down when you can carry a passenger and the passenger can't tell you've shifted other than the sound of the engine.
