the extra mass of the ST, say two up as against one up
makes it easier to lock up the front wheel for a given
required amount of deceleration.

I guess it totally depends on the design? In the 2up and 1up brake tests here it seems that the braking distance is slightly longer or equal on most bikes except the CBR1000F with DCBS (no ABS), which is slightly shorter 2up (dry). But in the wet it's considerably longer on the CBR. On the wet all the bikes have longer or almost equal braking distances 2-up, except the R1100GS which can stop on average half a meter quicker compared to 1-up. This is all with ABS on full, except for the CBR which gets braking distances equal to the ABS bikes wet or dry thanks to the DCBS.

Here's a theoretical article: http://www.msgroup.org/TIP074.html
