Riders will always debate this, but I absolutely would not buy a motorcycle without ABS unless I was planning to spend a lot of time on dirt. The accident statistics are striking - in real world conditions, ABS equipped bikes are less likely to crash. Hopefully you'll never need them to kick in, but when the split second decision to grab too much brake can cost you your life, they're a nice insurance policy to have. The sv650 and dl650 are my 2 favorite bikes for beginners, thanks in large part to the fact that you can get ABS on both. I've owned both and loved both, but the dl650 fit my riding style a little better. Aesthetically, though, it's an acquired taste.
