bikes these days have much better brakes, tires and suspension than ever.

now, when i'm on my sportbike up on angeles crest or other twisties, if i come into a turn too hot, i can trail brake through the turn and not upset the bike.

that's not really a good idea on an older bike. but even with top-notch bikes, applying too much front brake in this same situation and the bike will stand up to some degree due to the suspension.
