Mount Vernon, WA United States | The key word is "necessary."
While I don't feel I "need" ABS, or "need" Linked Brakes, or "need" reverse.... if given the option...
I would get ABS, Linked Brakes and Reverse. It's those little conveniences or safety features that only have to be used once in the entire lifetime of the bike, to make them worth the cost. It's a little like insurance. |

| ABS is not a substitute for rider skill. That would be the linked brake system. ABS is just a better braking system. A good rider on an bike without ABS can't brake as well as a good rider on an ABS equipped bike.
That is all.

Newberry, Mi. | Well put and very true lowtone9. If available when I get my Vision, I'll opt for the ABS.
I scoffed at seat belts, ABS, airbags, and fuel injection when they first came out. I'll not be doing that with ABS on my Vision. |

Extreme Southern, AZ United States | Just another piece of complexity to an already overcomplex system. |

Jasper, MO | I'm glad they made it optional, because if I should ever decide to trade my 08 Vision for a newer one, it will not have ABS. I'll take the centerstand and reverse though.
