For sure on some bikes the rear would need to be used (like large touring bikes or cruisers).
I'm pretty lazy, so I stick with the front, for any kind of sport bike. I even use the front quite a bit in the dirt, the few times I get to ride in the dirt.

Hi Cobie, Newbie here.
You do mean that you stick with the front don't you?
I use the front 99% of the time. It took a lot of getting used to after coming off British Twins and Moto Guzzis (with limked brakes). Acouple of rear brake incidents on my ZX6 put paid to that, but I had to overcome years of habit.
In the dirt, 90% front. If I hit the back brake in the dirt, the wheel will just lock up. This is good for getting around tight corners though.
