“But again, we’re talking about stopping in a straight line, and not using a proper trail braking technique where big bikes are down right squirrely!”
THAT’s it. That’s why I see sportbikes rock the brakes at the track. Their suspension, build geometry, etc. allow them to carry trail braking safely up to corner apex, giving the appearance of later braking than some other, less-steeply-raked bikes…good call.
