My opinion only, I would be very hesitant to buy another bike without ABS. In fact that is one of the reasons I traded in my Super Glide so I could get ABS. I found switching from my Goldwing with ABS to a non ABS entailed me to really concentrate and be more aware of the conditions. Now with both bikes with ABS, I can take that off my plate. If for no other reason to me it's a "piece of mind" thing.

the abs is awesome.
It came on the bike I bought- the 09 will stop in almost 1/2 the distance of the 1995 EGC.
so I was impressed.
riding on dirt gravel is now much easier, I can brake hard if I need to, the abs will help keep me from skidding out.
the security is also another happy surprise, a little more piece of mind when walking away from the bike.
add the $6 radio shack piezo instead of the $69 HD siren kit.
DO set the PIN, nothing sadder than the post from the guy stranded because he didn't set the pin and the fob is lost

ABS may also help on your trade in value when that time comes. I would'nt ride without it! Ride safe.
