I use mine quite alot too, in town its much easier to work with than diving the front, and when i need to slow from low speeds, at higher speeds i still tend to use both, and esp in the wet.
i guess growing up on a 350LC which had a **** poor front brake and good rear moulded me to use it.

I was out on the RC30 yesterday, and the rear is **** poor on that, yet the fronts have a hell of a bite with clean calipers and new HH pads. it took some getting used to having to rely on the fronts only.

I guess i prefer a smoother ride and am keeping the weight from my wrists when using the rear, but also i use it for keeping balance at v low speed
