I'd imagine if it offered a genuine advantage, that MotoGP bikes would all be using them.
As far as I know it's only Buell, but they were always a bit strange. Yet they are really strong brakes. Worked as well as any twin disc design I rode.
Next question is why do none of the DH bikes run twin discs yet?
but they did fade rapidly when used "enthusiastically"{insert smartarse comment here}0
