ETA: you know what you're right; Brembos aren't necessary for track days because people who take track days seriously will buy an AP racing kit which is leaps and bound better performing than the factory performance package brakes
No need to make attacks on everyone dude. I've owned three twins at this point, a couple 2013's and 2017 PP. I think anyone that actually knows me knows that I have no problem extracting the most from a car, and I've never had brake fade on stock calipers with racing pads like XP10s or DS1.11s and RBF650. That's plenty to get you through a 20-30 minute session on track. Longer than that and sure, I'd want beefier brakes.

For reference, GLTC cars and SCCA T4 cars run basic stock calipers.

Again, no need to be crappy to other people on here.
