Man, the brakes on my 900 took me a bit to get used to...they did their job WELL! Now, I'm used to them.

Who uses the brakes?
I ride around corners on one wheel, sometimes the front and other times the rear. Cyrus, you're a pussy if you need the brake to do a stoppie. I just shift my weight forward and shove my foot between the forks and wheel.
