You will stop faster if you use the front and back brakes together though.
Spot on.

I use the back brake a fair bit actually, more in the wet as it holds the bike more composed. I tend to use it a lot for slow speed filtering, anybody who has tried this will understand, plus the higher revs makes you heard a bit more.

In the dry, well thats mainly to keep the front wheel down on the 750 but it is very handy for high speed tight turns and of course to help straighten up when aiming for an apex on fast approaches.
