I've run a few types of race bikes, currently the SV with stock brakes in A1 condition and previously I've used R1 brakes on a 400.

To be honest there isnt a lot in it and thats under extremely hard braking on the track.

For racing the best brake mod I've used is to replace discs and pads with EBC race items but by far the biggest benefit I've gained overall is by sorting out the front suspension.

There is absolutely nothing lacking at all. I could not brake any harder than I do now.
