I still have bikes without ABS and have no qualms riding them, but when having the option while making a purchase decision it is certainly a factor.
Dave, could you feel the pulsing? I have never felt it on either of my ABS equipped bikes, and always wondered what it felt like. I have stopped awfully hard a couple times, hard enough I expected wheel lock up, but no lock up and no sensations that I could feel from the ABS either. I'm told it is basically seemless now in operation.
I could feel the brake pulsing through the front brake lever, but not the bike itself.

ABS pulsing
try it on gravel....
That's why many bikes give you the option of shutting it off at will.
I don't believe the CB1100 allows you to shut off ABS by jabbing a button though?
