That's pretty much right as a general rule on tarmac in the dry! Just dodgy conditions alter it to 50-50, but that's a progressive (squeeze) application of the brakes.

Really nothing teaches you more about using the front brake than learning to endo (stoppie). Nothing teaches you more about using the rear brake than tail sides or drifts. Nothing teaches you more about throttle use and rear brake modulation than wheelieing. Nothing teaches you more about cornering than learning to knee-down (or bar down with dirt bikes/MTB). Despite how pointless these tricks are on their own.
