I feel my 600rr has plenty of engine breaking.

However...

when following Pete, Spiers, Binky etc on twins... I quite often end up having to use my brakes when they are slowing down rapidly just on the engine braking. So there is a fair bit more, obviously.

I think it is a handy thing to have on tight down hill section of road where your on the brakes alot creating alot heat.
