I appreciate everyone's opinion and I thank you. The reason I want ABS is because of the environment I ride in. I live in a high traffic area of NJ. I grew up riding in NYC. On a smaller and lighter bike ABS is the way to go. The technology is nothing new and should be on every bike. Do ss lines help? I believe they do. I say this from experience. I've been riding for 39 years. Does rider training help. Absolutely! Are the brakes on the standard sufficient. Probably. But if there is that one time that ABS will help me in a situation, I'll take it. My other ride is an F6B. It doesn't have ABS but the brakes are linked. Another feature that Honda could put on more bikes for better braking.
