- Randy sounds pretty surprised, and although I have a ZX-10 instead of an -11,
- I'm also a little surprised. I would think that our brakes are pretty similar,
- and the front brake on my -10 is very capable. It has enough braking power to
- lock the front wheel without incredible effort, but enough feel so I can avoid
- locking. No squishiness at all.
-
- Can you be more specific about what needs to be improved? In what way was the
- CBR900RR superior? Are you sure you're talking brakes, not tires?
