Sorry for being late to the party. This track is not so demanding for this bike on brakes, BUT.... brake feel is TERRIBLE on the ABS model. I say again, FEEL is terrible. You definitely need steel braided hoses. Hard on the brakes, gets my lever very close to the grip which is annoying cause it's binding with my fingers under it. I always use only my middle and index finger. ABS definitely worth it. For track use it's gonna be annoying sometimes but you won't get any real extra performance out of braking on that aspect, due to limitations of chassis geometry, fork setting absence and seating position. If you get the ABS model, make sure you change the brake fluids and treat it well, pump unit is going to fail if fluids are old and contaminated.
