Have ABS. Had it on my last bike and never needed it. Sure it engaged on occasion but not in a situation where non ABS wouldn't have been fine. I've also never needed a full face helmet or side air bags and paid extra for that as well. On the other hand, I wear hiking boots instead of riding boots and jeans instead of Kevlar or leather. I think it's great that Honda has provided people with options. Probably only a matter of time before Uncle Sam decides the matter for us. The other thing that is great is someone asking a question about ABS and not having the conversation degenerate into a pissing and shouting match over riding skills.
