If you’re dead set on ABS there are a couple beginner friendly bikes out there on the market with it as an option. Very few though. (Suzuki SV560 or BMW G 650 Xcountry) They’re bigger displacement and more expensive. Perhaps more than most sane people would ever want to spend on their 1st bike. Depending on what your speed is on the highways you travel you may want something slightly bigger than a 250 cruiser anyhow. Just a thought.
