North America only got the single disc versions.  UK got single or double discs depending on whether you got the Limited, the V or the regular versions.  I think most of the rest of the world got twin discs.  There are quite a few here though that now have doubles from GSXR or Katana front ends.

I'm gonna fight the power and keep my single front disk, haha.  Now that I have an FZR400, I'm not trying to make mine a canyon carver anymore, just a good 'ol streetfighter/sport tourer compromise  :motorsmile:
Having said that, I never understood why they only put one disk on the US version, cost savings for all the bikes they sold here  :wink:

It's interesting, they used left-sided singles on the B4 and right-sided on the GS500.  They both use the same discs (side-specific, of course) as some bigger, twin-disced bikes like the B12.
