If you are flying down Mulholland and some idiot crosses into your lane, you need more control. If you can't corner without sliding into the other lane then you need brakes to bleed off a little speed.

They did talk about "air brakes", but I see it as only a matter of time before they end up plastered to the front of a car because they lost control.

I don't see why the bike isn't exciting enough.
