I've got a K3 and my first impression of the brakes is they're sh@t! Couldn't believe how suzuki could get away with such useless brakes on such a fast bike. When I first rode mine I nearly rear-ended my own car (my wife was driving). Managed to stop about 1cm from the rear bumper! I always complained about the brakes on my ZX12R but the busa was on another level of bad.
First thing I did was buy some braided lines and threw in decent brake pads. They're much better now but still nothing I'd call great. When funds allow I'll be changing the rotors.
On the other hand the rear brake is too powerful!
