I know it depends a lot on pad selection, but I have hauled my MC22 up on a couple of occasions on the front brake (after almost stacking it I decided to learn how to do proper emergency braking) and it'll stand up on the front wheel if you know what you're doing... Weird feeling, the first time I did it, and not something I would normally aspire to accomplishing, but nice to know the brakes do what they are told!
Oh, by the way, I'm using Ferodo Platinum ("street") pads, with stock calipers and rotors (but with braided brake lines).
1990 CBR250RR - fully rebuilt and awesome!
1999 CBR900RR - a work in progress...
