No ABS for Repsol Edition?

[CBR250R ABS]

CBR250R base model -- Red, Black
CBR250R ABS model - Red, Black, White, REPSOL

If it were like the above, it might drive more people to spend more on the higher-tier (and higher profit) ABS model, as it has more colour options available to it. I know this has kept me from buying a 2012 CBR600RRA here (Canada) to some degree, as the RRA is only available in black and I don't like black bikes, whereas the RR model comes in a red/black mix I rather like -- but then I want a bike with ABS.

Anyhow just my 2 cents -- </rant off>

Honda switches the color of ABS equipped bikes year to year. The 2013 CBR600RRA is offered in gorgeous Ducati red only. I rather like the looks of that one in the new color and body styling.

I still need to see it in person before I pass judgement -- I can't stand 'fire engine red', but do like some other hues. Hoping they'll have it at the Dec 4th bike show happening here in Toronto.
