For me it's another layer of complexity and technology, (and one more thing that can break) - and as an experienced rider I know how to panic stop through practice.
That's good to hear, makes me think that there will be a market for my '16 without ABS. I'm to the point where I do not want another bike without ABS and am seriously tempted to get a '18 just for that feature. The Euro standards require ABS now. I suspect that is why Zong is making ABS standard so they can build one platform to sell worldwide. This way they have the volume to add ABS for a small up-charge. I'm used to seeing the ABS option costing $1K or more.

If ABS is the only physical change I'll be able to move all my 'farkles' from the '16 to an '18. Sweet!
