I use two fingers. It's necessary to control the throttle while braking and downshifting.

MSF teaches four fingers. On sportbikes it's overkill but if your used to it it's fine. You just have to practice!!!

When I'm riding my Valkyrie I use four fingers on the front brake. That bike has excellent brakes but they do take more effort then the R1.
