 The price for that bike is great, why is every body making a big deal about not having  abs, in fact most bikes today don't come with abs..... I paid last yr for my non ABS $9k. Left over 2009 sky power sport lake wales florida.

Because ABS has and will continue to save peoples bacon out on the road.  I have yet to own an ABS bike, but I will make it a priority on my next bike.  I know I can't modulate the brakes as quickly as a computer to keep the brakes from locking up.  Is a $500 option worth it to keep you out of a potentially deadly situation?  I know if I have a choice that I will choose ABS.

I'm leaving my house at 9, should be in hot springs around 1 or so.  I'm riding from Winnsboro, LA to Harrison, AR all the way up hwy 7.  I'm meeting my uncle in hot springs and riding back to harrison with him to stay the night.  You are more than welcome to join in, I'll be riding home the next morning.  I'm not sure how far you are from Harrison though???

Got her today!!!!  Made my first ride on her as well, and boy is she smooth!  Completely different from a crotch rocket!!!  I knew it would be different but this is great!  I can go all day long now.  Now just got to wait on the UPS man to hurry up with the 2 bros pipe! 

On a different note was loading it up on the trailer to bring her home, the dumb @$# woman that just knew exactly what she was doing strapping her down......  well what do ya'll think happened?  Yep she fell over on the trailer!  My heart fell in my shoe!  Thankfully just barely put a nick in the side plastic, whew!!! ::) ::)
