Would the CB been more of a "success" if there had been more ABS bikes?

ABS is really just catching on with U.S. riders. For the most part U.S. riders haven't wanted ABS on their bikes, that is why it has always been a upcharge option here in the states, and come standard in other countries around the world. It will take government intrusion to get ABS mandatory on motorcycles here I'm afraid. In this country Americans don't want the extra weight, expense, or complexity and many feel they can brake better without it, whether they can or not.

Doubt the CB would have been a better seller had ABS come standard.
