I had an 08 without the ABS. Then I got an 09 with abs. I think it is a good idea because I find myself in bad weather and being able to stop in those conditions makes a ton of sense. If I get a 2010-11 I will get ABS again.
The only issue I have is that I use the rear brake all the time and I slide the rear wheel a lot. So the ABS kicks in quite a bit. At first it was annoying but I am used to it and don't hardly notice.
