So the CBR250R will be available with combined ABS as an option. Is this an influence in which model you buy? I've never locked the front tire before so I don't see why such a small motorcycle would need it. What do you guys think?

I'm on the fence about it. The money could be better spent just on upgrading the tires to stickier sport rubber. I realize all the stats and all that that says ABS saves you in a panic.

Motorcycles got by w/o ABS for decades, and racers still don't use it. So that kind of throws the challenge out to me to get better and work on my skills/reflexes.
