A new brake line would go a long way to improving the feel. I'd probably put on new pads, too.

Both my current bikes have braided lines... been awhile since I've experienced a rubber line, so out of curiosity when I sat on this bike at the motorcycle show I squeezed the lever and looked closely at the brake line... you can actually see it swell under pressure.

That's certainly not unique to this bike; just the nature of the beast, and the reason why braided steel lines are such a popular mod.
