Back in the T-3 era BMW and others were know for all or nothing rear brakes so unexpected lock up low slided more than a few folk. The Guzzi linked system seemed to make it more difficult to lock either the rear or the front up but still giving very good braking for the time. You had to really be hard on the binders to lock anything up. Just me I guess but I really like the system, especially for pavement.
