Does this version come with ABS?

I know 2017 does

The look is divisive though.

Just barely a year after I bought my 400 and I am already thinking about changing bike

And unlike most of us I am contemplating 'downgrading' to CBR250RR, love the trico color scheme and stock exhaust sound, and it's something I can rev hard for the thrill on road without riding at illegal speed.

Using my bike purely for daily commute, where I am constantly in the range of 40~100, there is really no way to use the excess power. The dreams of doing road trips and Genting rides prior to getting my bike turn into imaginations only, turns out what you think you would do with the bike and what you would really end up doing with it is quite different.

I don't disagree. I used to still travel to Melaka once or twice per month last year when I can still utilize the power on the highway, but since January this year 90% of the time my bike is on the federal highway motorcycle lane So yea my speed is anywhere between 40~100 these days.

I am contemplating two setups at the moment:

Option 1 (2 bikes setup):
1 scooter: will do two things that no other bikes can do :-
- Shield my legs from splashes when I ride through puddles
- No gear shifting: I am a sucker for white shoes

1 sportsbike - CBR250RR when I need to get on highway/do long distance, or I keep my Ninja 400.

-----------------

Option 2 (1 bikes setup):
1 sports tourer - maybe a used CBR650R.

I am leaning towards option 1, maybe it's a bit silly to go from a 400 to 250, but I noticed the way I like sportsbike is a lot more emotional (colors, design, cockpit view, exhaust sound) than practical. I just think the CBR250RR has everything I want.
