Question:

How to brake with a motorcycle at high speeds?

I almost got hit by a car because my bike took ages to brake.I was driving it at 110 km/h and also the tires are soft because i havent inflated them in years.Im a bit scared to press the front brake hard and the rear brake while ar high speeds usually causes tireburns and leaves a pitchblack mark on the road.It also sometimes starts turning the bike but i release the brake before that happens

Answer:

Never affected my brakes and I've been riding for 25 years.
No, I've not ever had to do it. In future, without sounding harsh, read the manual before touching a system you are unfamiliar with. --Mikey B--
YOU are an idiot, sell the damn thing. Inflate the tires. Ride moderately slow and try the FRONT brake only, try the rear brake only, try both. Don't try to test brakes at hi speed, 20 Km/h is just as effective
On a motorbike you actually wish to somewhat excellent through a curve. It helps to stretch out the suspension and improves corning potential. Never brake in a turn (do it before the turn if needed), in the event you have to brake straighten the bike out first and then brake. As far as your physique goes lean into the turn with the bike, you should still be sitting quite often straight on the bike as it leans. Lean into the grip on the side your turning and it's going to make the bike lean into the turn just correct for you. ***and for god's sake if you're now not on a race bike doing over 140 keep your knees on the tank***
Exactly what Dan said, and then some.
