Has anybody ever compared their standard OE Honda pads with the likes of EBC? i think the Honda pads are 'ok' but I assume there made fairly cheaply...

After reading an article in German magazine "Scooter & Sport" I changed mine to Lucas TRW, as the article said that these give you a better and more progressive feel and also slightly better stopping power. The other alternative is Brembo, which costs a tenner less then the TRWs with similar effects.
Whilst braking is now smoother and more progressive, its still not miraculous. If its worth the money for you only you can tell, I prefer the alternative to the originals and their "block of wood" feeling.
