Maybe. That's entirely possible. I locked up both front and back earlier this week on dry pavement in an emergency stop.(really hot woman on sidewalk distracted me from stoplight) I skidded for a bit. She smiled.
The HOnda brakes are truly awesome. Tho' I didn't like the linked aspect at first, It made itself very welcome after having to use'm to their fullest capacity. Very smooth but, firm. The thing stops on a dime!
While I like to read and think about physics, mechanics, and such....as a layman, I really appreciated Duug's comment..."This thing stops on a dime!" Lol, considering they're heavy and fast...good to hear!
That being said, I'm open to reading some good discussion re: stopping power. Carry on..:cheers:

Impressive! I've GOT to get more practice and confidence in hard braking. It could have saved me some heartache had I been able to do some max braking during a strong lean...
Yep - hitting the rev limiter in 5th is maxed out (for any VTX1800). On my F model, the digital speedo dances between 144 and 149 when I'm tapping the rev limiter in 5th. Then ya need to adjust for speedo inaccuracy.
