I read something that said lightened wheels gives the equivalent of +10hp plus the benefits of better turning due to lower unsprung mass and reduced gyroscopic force... Sounds like an all round good mod to me... Just need the money now. And gold ain't my colour.
I can see the downside though - my running costs for tyres would go up even further.
No no lighter bike easy on the rubber. Easier into the corner and also outof the corner, but u will need better brakes and i have them in stock when u are ready (iron full floating). PM me for a price.
