For my (personally) I think it's a extra complication, another variable. Too costly to experiment (on my age) and too costly when I put down one of the bikes due to in-experience. Sliding a Ducati into a turn will probably never be my thing. IIRC the first time Doohan used it after his foot was mangled and unable to bend or brake. ciao ducadini |

Nojapanbike....thanx for response on the disc brakes. Ducadini......on the other piece on the thumb brake use.....the picture is on an SOS bike (TZ with XR650 single). I heard that some of the go fast guyz in this class use these instead of foot pedals because the big 4 stroke singles engine brake so hard. Not sure how accurate that is?? |

Clay, I can only speak for myself, never discussed racing technics with my fellow friends/competitors  .One of those (Laverda Twin 860) had a aluminium rear disc (just alu, no sprayed Zanzani) because He didn't use it anyway but TechControl demanded it. I don't recall even touching mine (except when standing still on a ramp), the front was good enough to flip the bike (and did it twice) so I saw no use for the rear brake. Sliding into corners dirttrack-style wasn't discovered (yet) or at least not done in BoTT in the 80's. Sliding the bike going out was fun, sliding the bike going down was costly. I guess You'll just have to fit one on Your favorite bike and try it. The braking, not the sliding down  ciao ducadini |

Quote: The quest for some good stoppers With a single disc and a fourpiston up front (with extra cooling), they probably ran into a cold brake to start with. Maybe that's why they fitted the small caliper behind the leg. Our Kymco (shopping scooter) has three pistons up front : two are connected to the front brake, one is coupled with the rear. Really surprised me when on a wet road I was braking hard, ran out of road, and braked with the "rear" also. Promptly went down with a locked front. Never trusted the MotoGuzzi setup also. |
