ABS vs Not

[SUPERCRUZ_imp]

The CB1100 has been on the market since 2010 in Japan and Australia. Not exactly sure when the ABS option emerged but think it was 2011. I believe I read it is mandatory on all the UK bikes. I have not read any negative posts about the Honda ABS system. My Triumph Bonneville was a non ABS bike. One of the reasons I sold my Bonneville and bought the CB was for the ABS system option. One of the things they teach you in the MSF Basic Rider Course is progressive braking. Kudos to those who can progressive brake in a panic situation but I simply want the piece of mind of having ABS just in case. Having had a few panic stops in my cars over the years, I am always thankful when I do have ABS. No different on the bike. You get on the brakes hard in a panic situation on a bike and the brakes are going to lock up resulting in a skid or longer braking distances. For me, the extra money for the ABS is just an added insurance policy.
