linked brakes and abs questions

Hello everyone my name is jared and I'm a bikeaholic. Well I have had About a dozen street bikes over the years I have grown wiser and tired of stupid fat bikes and now I want something more comfortable I am currtenly looking for vfrs But I have a few questions. Would I be able to eliminate the linked brake system? If so how? Also on the abs model is there a switch for the abs like on bmws' if not Can I install one? Thank you in advance.

Short answer
No
and
No

The linked breaks would require a bit of work to swap over.
Also the ABS is on all the time.

I feel both options should be standard on all bikes unless they are on the track but that's for another topic.

If you wanted to delink brakes, its doable but takes some effort. I did mine.
Clink on link below. If the bike has ABS, dont even think about it.
