Hi, I've been looking at the NC700X as a natural replacement for my ageing BMW F650CS for a long time, and lurking on your fine forums to get up to speed on the bike. One thing that put me off was that the local New Zealand model didn't have ABS (which I had on the BMW.)
When I saw the press releases on the upgraded NC750X towards the end of last year (which I thought said that ABS was going to be standard worldwide) I thought great, I'll seriously look at buying that when it gets here.
In the end I couldn't wait, and even though I test rode the 700 and really liked it I ended up buying a CB500X (with ABS.) I've had that now for 6 months and while it's a great little bike, I find myself now regretting that I didn't go for the more relaxed 700, and was thinking of trading up again.
Very disappointed and surprised to discover that once again the local importer has chosen to import a non-ABS version of the 750. So my question is, are there are any other markets out there where the NC750X is only available without ABS?
(In the meantime I'm working on getting over my ABS obsession...my 'ABSsession', if you will).
