Which is worse

How about a linked brake bike like oh, a vfr 800 as a first bike?

 

The new 600s are ABS

 

The new 600's cost too much with ABS just makes it worse. I'm not saying I wouldn't spring for ABS on a 600 just the price is too high. Honda just released the 2011 cbr600 price on their website $11,199 for a 600, Suzuki is close with their new gixxer 600, but how can Honda price their cbr with the gsxr when the gsxr just got an update and Honda has kept the cbr the same since 07 ( the 09 revision doesn't count ). That's not the best part though because I think a new 848 starts at 12,000, so add ABS to your cbr and could buy a Ducati instead. This pricing trend of Honda's is just turning catastrophic, if the vfr 1200 had started at 13,000 or came standard with luggage at it's current price it would be considered a better bike. Ok I'm done rambling
