If you run race on the front and road on the rear, you can do road-racing. Sorry couldn't resist.

It will be ok, if you are dragging a knee it might be different, but i would do it.

Not a problem, but why you would want to run a race tire on the street ???

I've ran a Road 2 on the rear of my Busa with a Pilot Power on the front, worked great. Same set-up should work just as good on your B-King.
Downside was, burned the front up with a good 1000 miles left in the rear.
Why don't you just put Road 2s on both ends?

Because he wants the front to stay planted. You can work with a loose rear but the front is a little more unforgiving.

I'm going to a BT016 front and a BT021 rear on my busa soon!

Come on Tuf, he's got a B-King. How often do you ride a big standard to the point of needing a race tire to keep the front end "planted"?
I've ran my Road 2 front to the edge on both sides with no grip issues. They stick just fine for anything short of a real death wish, plus they might actually wear evenly so you don't always go around half the time with a wore out front and a newer rear.
