[Excaliber]

Heres an example:

Motorcycles often have twin disc brakes up front (mine does) with four pot calipers per side. I can brake very hard with the front wheel and can feel when the wheel is starting to 'lock up', release the pressure slightly and get maximum braking effect. My other bike is single disc and single pot, it is nearly impossible to brake hard without over doing it and locking up the front wheel. I just don't have the 'feel' with a single pot caliper.

A single pot caliper will certainly work, no doubt it's as capable of locking up the wheel as a four or six pot caliper. Do you want to 'lock it up'? Not the best way to brake.
