|BRAKING DISTANCE| |FROM 30 MPH|33 ft.| |FROM 60 MPH|131 ft.|

This is for the 2013.
Realize that braking distances involve many factors... experience of rider, rider reaction time, weight of rider, type of tires, surface adhesion, weight of bike, type of brake pads, whether it has ABS or not
BTW I use my rear brake nearly every time I brake, either hard or soft. Unless the rear wheel is off the ground the rear brake provides some stopping power. I've heard 80%/20% front/rear... heard other figures too, but the point being even if it's 90%/10%... if I need to stop why give up any (even 10% ) of my ability to stop by not using the rear brakes? I have emergency braked many times and never lifted the rear wheel off the ground. I let the rear brake do some of the work.
