Another point that has not yet been made about the OEM's brakes, is that if the MC has OEM suspension, then the diving of the nose under heavy braking causes considerable weight transference to the front end and this seriously disturbs the natural 50/50 weight distribution and must also completely bugger up (technical term) the front/rear brake balance.
However, if you have stiffer suspension on the MC, particularly at the front of the car, the diving under braking is considerably reduced, which to my subjective impression, seems to improve the braking capabilities of the car. Since the rear wheels have wider tyres than the front wheels, if the car can be prevented from diving, then the rear tyres are able to do more work in stopping the car, which will help the car to stop more effectively/quicker.
So, upgrading the suspension will also give an improvement to stopping ability of the OEM brakes without doing actually doing anything to the brakes. So you effectively get two mods for the price of one.
