I use EBC HH pads on all my bikes when required. I have had none of the nightmare scenerios as above with them at all. I have found, without exception, all of them better than stock, be it on a Suzuki, BM, Kawasaki or for that matter Honda. However I do not think heavy braking in a car or motobike is the way to go on the road, it is frenetic and unnessesary. Ok on the Nurburgring. However I do regularly brake test and emergency stop both my Cars and Bikes from differing speeds, on the bikes in particular I test the ABS in the wet and also now and again in suitable conditions on bends strighten the bike up and throw the anchors on.
As an aside regular brake testing a modern car is nessesary to get the rear brakes on sufficiently to keep them clear of corrosion, and at slowish speeds for the same reason apply the handbrake. (like Brian states below check manual first, other handbrakes are available !)
