No, in 2013 when it was launched in the US, ABS was still not a must- have, and the CB's primary competitors either didn't offer it or offered it as an option. The CB was too expensive, marketed poorly, launched with minimal fanfare to moto- journalists, unsupported by dealers, and offered too few factory accessories. A textbook case of blowing a product launch.
