I don't know the reason for the discrepency, but it probably has to do with testing conditions. I certainly wouldn't bet on an ABS BMW outbraking an ABS Ducati under otherwise identical conditions.
Min braking distance is a red herring of a performance statistic anyway. Since most vehicle brake systems these days can lock a wheel at will, braking distance mostly tests tire grip. And this is something that is so variable with respect to pavement type, temperature, etc., that braking distance measurement is almost a random number. It generally has little to do with the overall performance of a braking system, particularly the feedback it gives you through the lever/pedal and how it responds to repeated braking.
