Well Dan, as someone who spent 2/3'rds of his life racing (~10 years Pro), I can certainly agree that the front brake for 90% of V7 owners is adequate. That said, my first race-bike (a Honda HawkGT) had a single rotor. While everyone was swapping to Honda F2 front ends with dual disks, I put a steel-braided line on and changed to the most aggressive pads available back then, and won a few Championships with it. There were a few tracks that taxed this set up and caused me to crash though, so as power and speed increased, it forced me to go to a far more powerful setup, like outlined above.
If those reading this are playing in the canyons or doing track days, and/or as one gets faster, the brakes can certainly use an upgrade. Not adding a second disk (nearly impossibly costly for headache and expense) for sure, but just changing the pads to Brembo sintered is a good first step.
For those who enjoy top shelf braking on other bikes, the above combo really gives amazingly good power and feedback. If you can see my brake hand in the MGS-01 pic below, one-finger power is incredibly important when your speed goes way up. Though, I went pretty quick on the drum brake Dondo as well... so if you're a high-mile street rider, probably not worth the money. For all others, it's a solid worthwhile investment. Food for thought.
