My old '85 Honda VT250 had dual front calipers. 
Also my 93 Suzuki RGV250.

Manufacturers take global markets into consideration when developing bikes. 250 cc affects license and also with the new EU license scheme, I'm sure all that will be taken into consideration.
Moto3 has gone 250 as well so it will be interesting to see if Yamaha develops one for the championship as well.

Atleast Moto3 is open to any engine manufacture. They really need to open up Moto2, who wants to route for the honda? So stupid.......

It's all good Chris. BTW I'm not even sure if the VT hit the market in the US, the RGV must have though.

The VT, I totally agree with. But the RGV is a very light bike and the brakes have floating discs and are on par with anything today imo.
