On the right hand side of the bike? Has anyone noticed that almost every single bike has the front brake caliper/rotor on the left side of the bike, same as the clutch -- and opposite from the exhaust pipe.

Seems logical that bikes place the front brake on the left fork to counteract the extra weight of the exhaust on the right side.

Yet the 250r has both exhaust and front brake on the same side.

There must be a reason.....

Anyone?
