ABS vs Not

[emptysea]

If you can afford the ABS system, get it. I could not, so I opted for the non-ABS. I have read and re-read dozens of posts about Honda's ABS systems on this and other bikes and do not recall a single person having reliability problems. Some argue that ABS allows the rider to forget good riding technique, but that's a BS argument--riders simply do not suddenly forget how to avoid situations because they have ABS any more than they remember them because they don't. That said, it is an expensive alternative so choose it if it fits your budget and your mindset
