I had a chat with a chap that races expensive bikes who owns an Agusta motorcycle highest HP to weight ratio lots of CF and light weight metals Look at this animal http://www.automation-drive.com/f4-mv-agusta
Capable of doing 200mph plus and he explained to me he was on a near death experience at 165mph and what saved him was his brake system, the reason why it is better to have 6-8 pistons first 2 pistons clean up the surface second start warming up and adding pressure third and fourth do the maximum part of stopping; the more contact there is between pads to disc more friction = more stopping power specially over 150mph so for me its a bargain to have that insurance policy at high speeds for $500.00 for the difference of stopping and not hitting.
Hope this explains why Ivan
