I have found all the later model sport bikes with the  current   3.5" front 
rim, and 5to6" rear rims will tend up under braking in or onto a  corner. Due 
to the front brakes being so much stronger than the rear, you have  to use both 
brakes and the rear requires a lot more pressure than you might  expect. I 
found this reduces the stand-up tendency quite a bit when I ride my  02 ST .

Some of the tires brands (Metzler for example) reduce or eliminate this  
condition. I have Metzler's on my '01 Speed Triple (Sportec) and '01 Sprint ST  
(RoadTec) and love 'em!
