It's not like I'm riding fast (about 45 mph) but I had to make a quick stop for a light the last couple of days and locked the rear tire both times. Not complaining, but a bit surprising as I never had it happen on my heavier bikes. The Ninja is so light that it has a lot of idiosychrocies I didn't experience before. Like, don't ride on a windy day. I do love that I can actually walk it around (I only weigh 120 lbs) and that it is super easy to control, no issues with the tire locking up as the bike stayed straight and true.
