The way I see it, the better rider you become, the less you'll notice the 'harsh' ride when you grab the rear brake. If you grab a handful of rear brake on some braking bumps before a corner, be prepared to get a bit of a thrashing. Brake in a straight line and on smooth terrain (if it's available). The DHR is a racer's bike so keep that in mind when you're riding it. I'm still trying to find the limits of the bike as it just gets more fun and responds better the harder I push it. You definitely won't be dissapointed with the purchase of your new DHR!
Put the cash you wanted to spend on a floating brake into some good tires; you'll see a much greater benefit.
