Hello everyone!!

I got a 94 CBR and when I ride, my right foot rests on the peg far back enough where my toes are not resting on the brake pedal. When I want to break, I have to move my front toe area forward a little to press down the brake pedal (maybe takes half a second). I'm wondering if this is the correct riding position, or should I be riding with my front toe area constantly resting on the brake pedal (not pressing down of course)? I would imagine doing this could reduce the braking reaction time, but I'm not sure if this is safe or not since I could accidently trigger the brakes as well.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!! THANKS!!
