I don't care for ABS on a bike, but that's jmho. If you have the money and want it, then get it. Just don’t let having it lull you into a false sense of being bullet proof.

Get it. It will stop you faster in a panic situation. And that will be worth alot more than $845.

We got and love it. It's a nice insurance policy, especially in wet conditions. We used it once at about 50mph when someone pulled out on us, glad we had it. I was able to move over 3/4 of a lane at max braking and that was impressive, it handled well. Didn't like the feedback when the rear kicked in though. It almost, just for and instance, felt like the brake pedal broke. Pretty scary....get the ABS.

When I picked out my 09 SG I decided I'd save the money until I talked to a few people. Someone convinced me that if I had to use it once and it saved me it is worth it. I then had the dealer track me one down with ABS. I haven't had to use it yet but I don't believe I decided not to try to save a few bucks here.

Definitely worth it. Additional safety is worth $845 in my opinion.
