from my experience in riding many different bikes b4, a sports bike can e-brake much better and faster than a scram. thus a fork tat is soft can't give u a e-brake feeling. even a scoot can e-brake better than a scram. but it all goes down to the weight and the load carried.

 

scram have to see what tires they using ma.. moreover the CG is much higher..

 

if using off road tires different already..

 

i think fork do play a part..

 

i'm saying about the feeling.. if your fork is very soft. you tap your front brakes the bike will sink a lot thus a feeling of E brake while you just tap a brake.

yes it will sink a lot. but a soft fork will take longer to stop compared to the hard fork. looking at the choppers or cruisers is a good illustration.
