I like ABS, but opted for the non-abs model for two reasons 1.) I'll only be using the bike on nice sunny days and the standard brakes are great in the dry. 2.) Was too cheap to pay the extra $1k. Not a good reason not to get it I suppose, but there you are.
Regarding the power, after adding a Staintune muffler, which I feel really does wake the motor up a good bit (Staintune claims an extra 6hp), I think the bike has more than enough power to the point that you could call it a fast bike rather than just adequately fast. It should feel like a rocket ship after your Bonneville. Another plus over a ZRX is that everything will be new rather than used, with all that entails. I think all the ZRX's were carburated, so F.I. is another nice plus on the CB.
Good luck whatever you decide.
