My Tiger(s) are the first bikes I've owned where I can really stomp on the rear brake and use it properly. Other bikes, like my Ducati 900SS, needed a very delicate touch to avoid lock-ups and this is typical for most sports bikes.

The exception to this has been my Moto Guzzis, two of which had the infamous linked brakes so I did not include them as a 'rear brake'. Never had a problem stomping on those to good effect!

It was my IAM training which taught me proper use of the rear brake too.
