    I can brake the Z200 as hard as I can, mid-corner, and it has no effect.
    Neither on progress round the corner nor on speed...

    Cable-operated disc. It's out-performed by engine braking.

    Have you thought about grafting on a bicycle hub brake?

    disc eh, posh git, SLS drums are the brakes of choice for the discerning

    Pikey. I've just ordered a Ceriani 4LS drum[1] for it, hopefully I'll have
    it fitted in time for next week.

    Bit overkill, isn't it? Surely the front end from a KH250 or likewise
    would have been cheaper and have a decent disc.

    You did order it with the optional 15mm wheel bearings, didn't you? Z200
    doesn't take 17mm.

    Don't you have to take some sort of advanced test before you can fit them?
