Just two comments, neither of which may be useful to you:
1. It's a good deal if YOU think it's a good deal. I happen to agree with you that it seems like a good deal, but my opinion should be largely irrelevant as is comparing the cost of a 2013abs to any other CB1100 version--none are the same as that bike. The 2014 std would be the closest, but it doesn't have ABS. You may as well be comparing the 2013abs to a Bonneville.
2. The only difference between the 2013s with ABS and those without is that the former has a better braking system. My new 2013abs is virtually indistinguishable from my old, non-ABS, one in looks, feel, handling, and gas mileage. I just wish I had Michelin PR3s on this one, which could happen by about June.
