its to redce weight, and on long tracks front fenders slow you down. ever see a front fender on a land speed bike? didnt think so. It's not nas bike, and i know you couldnt do it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x6-8me0roeI do you think you could hit a jump at 90mph on a bike with 4 inch of suspention? in flattrack you come into the corner sideways and on the gas. anyone can come out of s corner sideways but very few can back it in

As a flattrack noob, I gotta question: Why don't they have brakes on those bikes? I would think that a front disc wouldn't get in the way or add enough weight to make a difference either way.

Flat track has a rear brake...a can only assume because there's no berm in the turns using a front would cause the nose dive/slide out. They tend to back off the throttle just enough to get into the turn then gas it thru the turn...

As for Speedway which is what may have been thinking has no brakes...motor braking is so strong brakes aren't necessary...same as flat tracking, they're slowing down just enough to begin the turn then they too gas it around the turn pitching it sideways. :prof:
