Default Brake pedal travel after pad change

Hello

Last week we had dropped the MC off at a local mechanic to have the Front brakes and fluid change. They machined the rotors and changed the pads/fluid.

When we got the car back the brake peddle feel has gone from just needing a light touch and you are stopped. To now I have to push it nearly to the floor. If I pump it it comes up but is down again the next time I stop. After a week of seeing if it just needed to bed in it is still the same.

We took it back to the shop today and they re-bled the fluid and took it for a test drive. As far as they are concerned it is fine... I mean, it does stop. it just feels like I am stopping my old Kombi...

So, can anyone think of what the issue may be? I feel that I am about to waste a Saturday tinkering under my car.
