Front brake vs. rear brake

Captain Morgan · 01-09-2010, 10:01 PM

Didn't know you rode a Vic. I'm planning on buying a Vegas sometime soon. Will end up picking up a used one, though, as I don't see the point in buying new since they don't seem to hold value all that well. How do you like the feel of the front brake? I've heard it can be an issue, at least with the Vegas since it has such a large front tire. Is the Kingpin a lot different? Is the front too soft, or does it stop the bike well?
