Thanks, guys, for the explanation.
The article that spurred my interest was an online review of the R-nine-T in MCN (the european version).
They lamented that BMW had "cheaped out" by putting axial-pump brakes on their bike. The bike was roasted for its lack of feel and length of pull. The article said that radial-pump brakes would haved cured the problem.
Surprising to me, they wrote that there are after-market solutions...suggesting that radial-pump brakes can be bought (model specific!) for bikes. Didn't know that.[/i]
