try slowing down dramatically while cornering heavily with only a front brakes, I have a fucking hairy moment when the rear wheel literally lift and almost lost control of the bike.
for SS - rear brake or front and rear, there are reason why cruiser, town bike, etc. have rear-only bike (usually coaster).
