no, let me explain...So in Indonesia the ABS model is $200 cheaper than the non ABS?
lets just assume US$ 1 = 10.000 IDR (actually its 9.6xx)
Non-ABS price = $5000
Non-ABS, starting from December 1st 2012 = $5200
plus, for the non-ABS, you have to wait longer, at least a month(in some cases, depending on the area, up to 6 months
) since most people here prefer the non-ABS model instead of the ABS...but the price for the ABS stays the same until now= $5700

I know the ABS is more money, but I think it's worth it (I paid for it)
I am new to bikes and had a couple of questions:
1) Why do most people prefer the non-abs as mentioned above over the abs? Is it due to pricing, the wait time, or actual bike weight? The ABS is supposed to be safer at only a few extra pounds right? What I am getting at is, having the ABS does not hinder you from particular mods that a non-ABS could does it? I plan on heavily modding mine
2) It has been mentioned that the above swingarm is a cover for the stock. Is this OEM, or some company making it? I cannot find this item and the hugger anywhere...I hope we can get it here in the states....
Thanks in advance, ride on!

I personally chose the non-ABS because I've always rode without it and I feel that if I want to lock up the wheel it damn well better, I don't want this bouncing around crap goin on. I learned to ride without it and I plan to continue riding without it until I don't have the option.

Love the red. Going to have to take my white one and add some graphics kinda like this. Beautiful!Here's mine
just some simple mods so far :
And... I just paid $15 for the brand new 250R's paddock stand
- 250R's Leo Vince Cobra Slip-on ('Elephant Trunk' suits better than cobra, don't you think?)
- Bridgestone Battlax S20, 120/60 and 160/60
- Smoked Windshield
- Custom Fender Eliminator (My God the stock fender looks like a huge d*ldo)
- V-Grille (some sort of mudguard right under the radiator)
- Arm Cover/Hugger
- Koso Exhaust Slider/Anticrush

I'm assuming you're going to change the wheels, tires, shocks, calipers etc too... if yes, I think non-ABS will suit you better...
I'm not saying it's impossible, like what this guy did on his ABS...
Look at the ABS plate thingy on the front disk
It's custom arm hugger, made of fiberglass... not sure if it's available anywhere outside of Indonesia though...
EDIT: looks like the owner deleted the pic or something, but anyway, here's mine

That looks sweet Dave, if I had the option here in the U.S. I would have been all over that.
