I've only used the back brake on the 998 to hold it on my sloping drive while I start the engine and put my gloves on.

Mashed right ankle stops me moving that foot around too much on the bike, so once it's wedged up on the rear-sets that's where it stays!

Used to use the back brake loads on the '97 GSXR600 I had as it was top fun to back into corners, but never found the need on a Ducati - they're so stable that backing it in spoils that bit of the experience...
