If you simply must have ABS, then an ABS model it must be.
There is no way I'd choose a '13 over a '14 or '17, however, for one huge reason: six speeds, vs five. The '14 received the new six-speed tranny, which would be the first deal-breaker for me, regarding the '13.
Otherwise, yes, there are many more Bonnevilles than CB1100s tooling around these parts. I'm sure it's not just Seattle or NorCal, either. I'm guessing Triumph has sold at least ten Bonnevilles for every 2013-or-newer CB1100 Honda has sold during those same model years, and I wouldn't be surprised if the ratio was more like thirty-to-one.
As for the T120 model years, the '16 has a well-known problem with squealing brakes and condensation in the instruments. The '17 model fixed the squealing brakes issue, but I haven't read anything about a fix for the condensation issue, which is sure to crop up in cool, wet Seattle.
