TBH there's nowt wrong with the 4 or 6 pot tokicos if you keep up to the maintenance.
Apparently the 6 pots are great, IF they're maintained properly and work right. Quite a few people have said they're a biatch to bleed though

My housemate has Bandit 1200 calipers on his ZX7R after junking the standard 6 pots, and with a stock ZX10R radial m/cyl they are fantastic brakes.
And yeah, alot of people have also said the same about ditching 6 pots for 4 pots as they're usually just as powerful (if not a little bit more) but require far less maintenance...

Gonna pull them apart when I get home from work tonight
