No I'm not being a smarty, but bikes have been made without ABS and have done just fine. Yes, all being equal I'd gladly take a 2014 'deluxe' CB1100, none where close to me.
New 2014's are still on Cycle-Trader, here's one.

If your heart is set on one I'd just maybe trade into it. Even with the $$ lost in the transaction, at least it would be set up and ready to roll.
Ever since I was a wee pup on my Yamaha DT-100 enduro it's all been about modulating the braking. That modulating is varied based upon road(trail) surface, front or rear brake, and what the situation calls for. Then there is the issue of braking while turning.
Yes, I'd take ABS if the rest was sorta equal. I'm mostly a dry pavement guy with the CB1100.
