If you click on "heavy front brake application" you get a pretty cool looking picture of Buell stopping quickly..

"Says Jones, 'We think we managed to conclusively prove that Buell motorcycles are capable of some pretty extraordinary things.' Er, certainly…

Those are some pretty crappy brakes, if it takes a whole 305 metres to haul that junkpile to a stop from 200kph. Why, my conventional-single-disc Hawk can stop well-within 100 metres from 189kph (it probably won't DO 200kph without a push!)................

The standard most car are measured is can it stop from 60 mph in around 120 feet. I looked at a old SportsRider article and the rider could only manage 146 ft using a Bandit

Those WERE some crappy brakes - IIRC an '88 Hawk (with a single front disc, 2-piston caliper) could manage the same in roughly 116 to 121 feet(depended on which magazine you read). This was when even the BEST cars out there couldn't "Whoa!" it below ~160-180 feet or so.

Tire and brake-pad technology has indeed come a long way since then.
