Even though nowadays just a few motorcycles and most medium-duty and heavy-duty trucks and bus frames are the last new vehicles featuring all-around drum brakes, and the average Joe perceives it either as inherently inferior or simply "uncool" when it comes to motorcycles as a large front disc (either just bigger than stock or in a different shape such as those wavy discs), I am seeing a reasonable amount of motorcycles originally fitted with a front disc brake converted to drums all around. I guess the ABS mandate for new cars in my country from 2014 on may prevent similar mods to be implemented on cars, yet I'm sure some fleet owners and managers would be more willing to try a similar approach if they could legally do it.
