Basic question, about to purchase 2013 CB1100 non-abs

I'd say adding ABS to a non-ABS bike (or car, for that matter) is not worth the effort: it's cheaper/easier just to sold the non-ABS vehicle to get one with it.

Wether you need ABS or not... well, I am a fan of ABS: it gives me the confidence that no matter how hard I brake the front tyre will stay put. But I had a non-ABS bike before the CB with no issues.

If I was constantly commuting in the rain, I'd much preffer an ABS bike.
