Are BMW still the only manufacturer putting ABS on their bikes?
I'm aware that other bikes have sophisticated force distribution setups, but does anyone else have a system where you can jump on the anchors as hard as you want and you won't lock it

It didn't make sense for Suzuki to put more money into changes to the basic bike.

If the ABS light is flashing or does not go out when it should, the
bike fails.

If the bike is in good shape at a good price i wouldn't hesitate to buy it.

My conclusion....
Got it from UK from a totaled 2009 GS.
It must be very lucky of me to have a used ABS unit working perfectly on my bike without any coding.
Bike was manufactured Nov 2007.
Had a failed ABS unit on 2008 GS last year.

Give it to her and shop for YOUR new bike.
Or if she wants to be sensible 650? There isn't a better bike out there for her than your Street R.
Get the street triple!
One of the most fun bike ever made IMHO.
To handle.
