Technically I'm sure that is true, but I've never had it happen to me or heard anyone else experience it. I wonder if the way the force is applied to the tyre makes a difference, i.e: braking tends to be a steady increase of a fairly smooth load where, especially on a big single or twin, the rear is subject to a pulsing load?
The only bike I've had it happen to me on was my XR650 and that only makes 50bhp. It ripped the valve right out of the rear inner tube!
