How often do you grab at the front brake? You don't need ABS IMO, a lot of people on this forum will disagree, but I'd go for the lower mileage bike every time (just do your normal checks).

It depends. I have seen shitty bikes with low miles and excellent bikes with high mileage.

Say the bike condition is the same I would go for the ABS one. 30k is not very big mileage for Hornet.

Condition, no of owners?

Certainly do not think that ABS would offset the price difference given the miles covered.
