I would buy the ABS option if it was available on a bike I wanted to ride. What I wouldn't do is buy a bike that wasn't my first choice just to get ABS.

 

I wish more manufacturers would give us the option.

You will not find a kit. The system is far too complicated to "ad on"

 

My RT has BMW's power assisted, linked system. The feel or feedback is completely lost with power assist. The linked feature is unwanted at times as well. It does activate when not wanted, in my case almost every day. There is a fairly bumpy intersection on my way to work. If I'm approaching fast and brake over the bumps the system will engage and it actually increases stopping distance. It is enough of a nuisance that I've adapted by braking up to the bumps then releasing and braking again after crossing them. These bumps are not an issue on the MG.

That said, when not braking over sharp bumps the system works well and rarely comes into play. It did save my ass once when going into gravel too fast and needing to brake hard.

I'd prefer the non linked version that the new BMWs have.
