If they made bicycles so the front brake was on the right, it would be less hazardous and confusing when you rode a motorcycle. Are there other countries where the brakes are on the other side?
Traction is from the rear tires, as a result the bigger the greater traction. Brakes prefer greater desirable on the front simply by fact while combating, the vehicle dips on the front. enormous brakes on the rear will merely skid, as there is far less weight on the rear tires. 70% of braking is carried out from the front, on vehicles. On motorcycles the rear brake is the main important, and the front utilized intently, or you run the possibility of skidding the front tire. undesirable theory.
Like SVTCOBRA stated. you are comparing apples to oranges. The only thing that bicycles and motorcycles have in common is each has two wheels. Up until the mid 70's, British motorcycles had the shifter on the right foot and the rear brake on the left foot. American and Japanese motorcycles we opposite of this. To my knowledge, all motorcycles sold in the US must have the shifter on the left and the rear brake on the right for uniformity. This puts the brakes, front and rear on the right side of the motorcycle and the shifter and clutch on the left side. Maybe one of our friends from Great Britain could tell us if it is that way in their part of the world or whether it is still right shifter and left foot rear brake. Good luck.
Actually, your talking about two different types of vehicle, and there is no correct answer to your question
