Best Answer

Race bikes usually only have a rear brake and bikes for vert/street usually haven't got any brakes at all. Dual brakes is sensible on a bike that sees some utility use, like being ridden on roads, but removing the brake will (to some) make the bike look more "hard core", or "cooler". And, if you haven't got a rotor/gyro, removing the front brake will let you do barspins w/o the brake cable getting tangled up.

Not really unless all your brake bads are badly worn down , since abs compensates for the rate of rotation for each wheel so that you brake straight , keeping in mind that the front brakes take the most load and the back brakes take less so you should replace them in sets (front brakes) & (back brakes)
