The bike is a 2006 but still only has about 7,000KMs on it... that said, braking performance is atrocious and it's the one thing I'v never addressed with this bike (and I suspect the previous owner never touched). I have been debating between new brake fluid/pads and new brake fluids/pads/rotors for the new season. I think new pads and fluid would probably make a monumental change over my current experience but I'm not sure if the ROI would be worth it to do rotors as well.

Any recommendations on street pads? Is it worth upgrading brake lines as well at this point?

I always started with brakes in my project cars (ITR, STI, GT-R) so I feel very guilty that it's the one thing I have neglected with my bike.
