Message yeah most of the power goes to the front. i agree in with that
i have seen red heated rears as well though.
the point with MC`s is that they have a very high point of gravity. with the driver and all.. and its short and do not carry much weight at all. thats why the rear tries to overtake the front the airway during hard brakeing.
a low stiff car do not nessecarily nosedive in that same manner, keeping more of it`s weight on the ground. it got a much lower point of gravity.
picture this: a running horse! what does it do when it want to stopp as fast as possible? does it get up on its two front legs and let its rear legs dangle in the air? no. it kind of sits down trying to lower its point of gravity and to get more ground preassure to its hind legs and to avoid the rear loose traction, and avoiding to tip over like a MC would brakeing hard enough .(more rear brake bias) same with cars that dont dive. gets more weight on the rear.
acctualy Citroen have done this a long time now... at least at some of their older cars. when braking it did what the horse does. it sits down on its arse. coinsidence? i think not.
