I was considering buying the ABS model but I realized that I would eventually want to ride a bigger bike and I'd have to go with ABS because I'd become used to using the system.
So I'd prefer to take it easy and slowly master the technique of braking. All I know so far is not to brake in a corner and not to oversqueeze the front brake, which appears an obvious thing to do but may be forgotten in a panic situation.
But that will have to wait until I pick up the bike which happens to be a black non abs that's on the rails right now from Vancouver. The dealer will probably take a week to assemble the bikes and then go down the list to my name which is #22 on that list.
