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

I'm 54, and the 4 bikes I owned prior to this, 3 Hondas and a Triumph, all had ABS. Obtaining a CB1100 with ABS sealed the deal for me and gives me a much higher level of confidence on the bike. I'm a Consumer Reports kind of guy, read their reviews and appreciate their recommendations on safety tech concerning cars. Have also considered a number of BMW motorcycles over the years, where ABS is much more the norm. Hard for me to know what has influenced others in their purchase decisions. For me ABS was a huge factor.
