Would be far more expensive to manufacter than a disk brake I imagine. Would you want to pull it apart? >_<

When it comes to car manufacturers its cheaper to make a drum setup than disc .

ie base model Mitsubishi Colt 2006 has drums on the rear.

Im guessing this applys to bike manafacturers as well .

I've found that while cornering I'm happier to use the reat brake then the front....somehow it seems to help with keeping the line btter.

I'm guessing this is this a dangerous tactic??? Especially if it's wet!

It's not like I hit the anchors hard while turning, but somehow a light tap seems to help now and again...I just can't help it.

It's called trail braking, and is a well recognised technique. That said some bikes benefit from it and some don't.

A drum rear should be more than adequate for trail braking, especially on a 250.
