I disagree, even the likes of Mick Doohan used their rear brake on-track and from a road bike perspective if you're out in the rain using front brake only your chances of buying a plastic repair kit greatly increases.
If the standard 600 caliper is working properly it should be fine; however I'd say about two thirds of people don't bother cleaning their calipers regularly and so they become fairly useless as they gum up.
FZS1000, XJR1300 or YZF750, TRX850 & Thunderace rear calipers all have 43mm instead of 38mm pistons, so less effort on the pedal for more effect. I have a Thunderace rear caliper fitted & wouldnt go back to standard as 'feel' is much better
