You sure do. Riding the rear brake into corners, aka trail braking, changes the attitude of the motorcycle making turn in quicker.

- ska 7y agoThat's not the same effect, really. And trail braking is mostly (not exclusively) a front brake technique (in which case it's more likely reducing your turn in speed, as you really, really don't want to be on much front break and lean at the same time). It's mostly used to allow speed adjustment past the entry point without upsetting the chassis by a new application of brakes. But I'll give you that it's vaguely similar to OP in some ways, so fair enough - cornering dynamics of 4 and 2 wheels are a bit apples and oranges anyway.
