To clarify, hopefully: Blue Bell in Crewe where I bought the bike, told me that although ABS was listed as an option, if I didn't specify it on my bike, then they couldn't get me a delivery date for a non ABS bike as BMW were selling them like hotcakes - hence over 4 months wait even with ABS. As Andres put it, If you got ABS, then you got the servo as well.
I'd be well interested in how to remove the ABS/servo from a 1200 as I've only ever seen articles about removing the system from 1150s.
