So its pretty much accepted that ABS for bikes will become mandatory, even in Yorkshire.
Sorry that link seems broken, I'll try again.
What's to be worried about anyway?
ABS might save your sorry miserable arse one day.
Ah, I see what you mean now.

My father-in-law bought a GTS300 in plum. It's beautiful. Much, much larger than the PCX though. Even if I wanted one, I can't afford that now though, Vespas are costly.

Your father in law is clearly a man of taste.
The price isn't too bad here, PCX list price is £2500, you can now get a Vespa 300 for £3800 which is cheaper than the S-wing 125 ABS list price.
Four decades on two wheels has taught me nothing, all advice given is guaranteed to be wrong
