You guys realize motorcycles don't have an "e-brake" (emergency brake/parking brake) right? it's a FRONT BRAKE and REAR BRAKE. if anything, the rear brake would be considered the parking brake as it's the weaker of the two and can be used to keep you stationary on an incline while still manipulating the throttle and clutch

You do realize...

Emergency braking = Full bore braking to stop as quickly as possible.

we call it 'e-braking' when we use the full braking capability. Normal street riding, I may use about 1/4th my bike's braking power.

But when the chit's bout to hit the fan, you'll have to get on both brakes hard.

Im starting to learn stoppies
Its very good for you to make some trouble in city, and get to know your bike- wheelies, stoppies etc. Well, wheelies are small problem for me, cant get it up with clutch (skill problem ), but stoppies are coming well
and when there will come time, when extreme braking is needed, then i wont **** my pants, if the rear end comes up

If you stoppie during hard braking, you've lost braking power. Two contact patches + friction from 3 rotors is greater than the front tire alone. I'd imagine front tire + a locked rear to have greater stopping power than lifting the rear.
