It's a good question as to why bother? I'm thinking it has got engine perched out the back and that where all its weight and tyre width is, so won't it be doing the huge majority of its braking at back? Must admit those things scare me shitless, they're just so damn wrong! So good on you for riding it. It's good to be different.

the points being it is it is money grab, and a hydraulic disc is a vast improvement on a 150mm brake , those who ride em will know what I mean , u can never have enough stopping power ,

Not quite sure about hanging onto it at 200mph though.
