I had to order mine. There was one at the dealer with no ABS but in the colors I wanted. The salesman was pushy trying to discount the effectiveness of the ABS Security package. I took my business elsewhere and ordered the exact bike I wanted.

I believe ABS is standard in Europe and will be here in the States before too long.

No but I wanted it. I even asked for it and thought I got it. Unfortunately, they didn't have a FXS with one at the time.

I have it on mine and after a near miss a few weeks ago I doubt I will ever buy a bike without it...

I have it. Wasn't sure I would like it at first but after a few close calls I'm sold on it.

No, but ABS wasn't an option in 2005 and 2006.
