Front brake rotors - What's the go-to?

What's everyone replacing their front brake rotors (or discs if you prefer) with? Looks like these Brembo units from MG Cycle should work, but curious as to any feedback and/or alternatives available.

That's what I used for my replacements on the early Sport with the round holes. Then swore off aggressive HH rotor-eating pads . . .

These rotors are rated for FF, FG or maybe GG pads . . .

"Sintered HH" SHH will give great stopping power. Plan on changing the rotors with the pads. Like a Volvo. :whistle: :huh: <_<

Thanks docc. I did read thru your recent thread on the pads and was planning on trying the EBC organic GG rated pads that were referenced there...

Volvo sounds like they've taken a page out of BMWs book with the "replace all" approach. As much as I like new brakes my wallet sure doesn't... :o

On that same link, if you scroll down you'll see the EBC rotors. I used a pair of those once, and was happy with them. But keeping the brakes all original with Brembo parts would be the surest bet (but not likely to be the least expensive).

I fitted Aprilia disks to my bike after the original disks wore below limits. Part number: AP8133781, Brand: Sunstar. "Vespa APC Aprilia Derbi Gilera Piaggio Scarabeo genuine spare parts" written on packaging.

That's what I did too.
