Exactly. Just want to make sure the new riders reading this thread understand what can happen under really hard braking conditions, which is what the OP is about.

As noted above, newer riders are unlikely to approach these limits, especially on a bike like the Ninjette because its brakes are nowhere near as powerful as those on a supersport machine.
