Brakes on modern bikes of any style are simply incredible. When properly applied, the brakes are far more capable than you could ever imagine. One of the challenges with the rapidly expolding technology in motorcyles and especially in sportbikes, is that 90%+ of the riders couldn’t squeeze 70%+ of the potential out of a sportbike when they first hit the market in the 80’s. Skills have improved generally, but no where near the pace of technology. I see 20 year old sportbikes SPANKING modern sportbikes every weekend at the track in the hands of capable riders. It’s a hoot!
