Seems like ALL the fast supermotard guys are backing it in all over the place.
I ride a motard but use more a 250GP riding style, hooked up and tidy. I'm scared of too much sliding around!
I believe as racer says due to the lack of feel with the rear brake alot of guys started using thumb brakes!
IIRC, thumb brakes were invented out of necessity. I dont' recall who it was developed for but the necessity was due to foot injury. IIRC it's mentiond on the movie FASTER. Both of the guys mentioned that used the thumb brake were injured at the time they tried them.
