That Duc can go all day and forever until those pads and rotors are dead and still stop, i.e. limited brake fade. World of difference.
So two completely different bikes with different rotor sizes and pads and fluid. And how much heavier is the busa? How does fade have anything to do with the construction of the caliper? What are we even arguing about?

All I am trying to say is that there is nothing special about monoblock calipers or endless brakes.

And I don't know what cars use Stoptech calipers. They won't tell me or you or anyone else. But quite a few cars that have mfg-branded fixed 4 or 6-pot calipers use them.
