absolutely better brakes, particularly now with discs, more rubber on the ground, better braking system - air versus hydraulic. Many years ago I was involved in a test where we tested stopping distances of motorbikes, cars, medium rigids, heavy rigids, heavy combinations and multi-combinations and the trucks won, bikes were pretty close
