'07 RT - linked brakes?

A friend with an '07 RT mentioned standing on the brakes during a ride. That prompted me to ask if the brakes are linked as they are on my K1200RS. And the answer is...? (The owner doesn't know)
 
I believe they are all linked. Well, at least since 2005, anyway.
The link is 'partial integrated'. The front includes the back, but the back does not include the front.
And it's proportional.
The only big difference, and some say it doesn't matter, is servo assist. Which ended either mid year (model year) 2007 or beginning 2008.

I have a 2/2007 build date RT and it has non servo brakes. You can feel the action while applying the front brake and feeling for the assist on the back.
