Well then I guess I'm screwed, cause I payed $10,999 for the bike (after two different salesman confirmed it had ABS), and also because I'm "X% more likely" or something to have a collision.

I've been riding on and off for 30 years or so and have rarely or never locked a rear wheel on pavement, leave alone collided with anything. But there's a first time for everything, especially with creeping age...and besides, most of the other bikes I've owned when they were my only transportation so got used to using mostly my right hand to brake; but now that I also own a car (actually a van) my foot will by habit be heavy on the bike.

Headed to the dealer Monday, but I doubt they'll write me a check for $1k. Maybe they'll give me a merchandise or service credit, if anything.

I can't tell which state you live in. But one option may be to go to small claims court and seek the $1000 on a fraud action.
