Don't feel like the Lone Ranger Quietguy , I only have 150 miles on my bike and my first observation upon riding it was how touchy the front brake is. It's unfortunate the Std doesn't have ABS, but we all have to learn the nuances of new bikes. I would have to say the 1100 has the "grabbiest" front bike of any bike I've ever ridden. I think some high speed parking lot "practice" might be in order for me.

No matter the number of years, or the quantity of motorcycles I've ridden, there's always room for learning and improvement.
But yeah... I do define these front brakes as VERY sensitive. I also use two fingers on the brake lever.
