The HP4 is a monster of a bike. Unfortunately too much for me I think, in terms of power, cost and insurance. One day though perhaps... When you get one I'll be very jealous!
As far as rear brakes are concerned - go gently ; remember you will have a lot more power and torque at the rear wheel - locking up is 'more' of a posibility where higher power/torques are involved.
Smooth and gradual does it.......
