Default ABS?

Ok, whats the verdict...Do you go with the ABS on an 08 Ultra or stay with the new Brembo system?

Default RE: ABS?

ABS are sweet. I have them on an 06 BMW I ride. I wouldn't spend the money to upgrade my 07 to them, but if the new bike had them on there I'd sure take them. Another thing is I think it's about a $800 option, but a good one especially for the less experienced riders.

I'm thinking about an '08 Ultra or Classic and it WILL have ABS.

ABS should be standard equipment on a bike. It's that good. Drive into a wet, grassy field with ABS and you'll stop as though you're on asphalt. If it's available - get it.
