This end up a hot button and often divisive topic on forums so I'll drop it after one more comment. Having ridden a couple of bikes now with "quality hydraulics", I still contend that riders are not testing the limits as many of us did on our motorcycles. I have ridden, recently, a bike with a $600 Hope braking system. They were awesome, but I don't see many of the brands seemingly most popular here with anything near the braking power. I encourage all to take a friend and do some avoidance exercises, do some panic braking exercises, and KNOW what your brakes are or are not capable of. Unless we actually know the performance at the speeds we ride at...well it's all blather.
I KNOW how my brakes will perform at my max speed.
Below ia an exercise list from the Motorcycle Safety Foundation. Many are beginning to approach speeds where other MSF principles could be life savers.
Me? I slowed down. I like my 20MPH ride with outstanding mileage. But again, I KNOW exactly how my brakes work under duress. Thanks
