Maybe I'm wrong or just different but when I ride, the front brake is my primary go to brake in all traffic situations with the rear rear brake used for support. To stop a motorcycle quickly in a emergency situation requires proper front brake use. By "practicing" using the front brake in normal traffic situations I feel I'm better prepared and comfortable using it in emergency stiuations. I just purchased a used 06 Tiger and will admit the front binder tended to be a little grabby at first. But now I am better at modulating it and can whoa the bike on a postage stamp if need be.
