Yeah, I suppose easing on the rear brake for a track run off into the grass is probably a good thing...my goal is not to run off at all...but you never know.

A honda CBR600RR can pull .79G of braking force with the front and rear brake maxed out (no slipping).

The same bike with the same rider will pull .77G with the front brake alone.

For me, I'll sacrifice the 0.02G to have the assurance that my rear isn't going to walk out of line when panic braking.
