debs,
Welcome to USA. There are those who like ABS, and those who don't. I find that the 650 brakes extremely well without it. If you have limited experience with riding motorcycles/scooters you might be better off with an ABS model.
The 650 is one of the best handling big scooters. For the slow tight work, put the transmission in "Power" mode. This gives you more engine braking. Roll the throttle up and down smoothly instead of abruptly opening and closing it and you'll find that you need very little brake. With the right technique, the 650 is the best bike I have every ridden in tight twisties.
