Anti lock brakes (on a "truck" as you say) makes sense. Not so much for avoiding hitting something, but avoiding falling down on slippery surfaces, of which you will encounter when traveling new places.

I can grab all the brakes, hard as I can, on a bad gravel road, and it comes to a perfectly stable clean stop. You just better be ready to put your foot down.

I would not want anti-lock brakes on my SV either, that whole weight thing as you say. Besides I wouldn't be able to do stoppies.
