Just messing with you. If ego's numbers are right, I could gain 6-7 hp, but I'm not that worried about it. If you have the budget, start swapping out stock parts for carbon fiber ones.

you can lose about twenty pounds in a few weeks by just easing up on carbs like bread rice potatoes any kind of pasta and eats lots of protien like lean ground beef.

You could lose about 15 lbs of rotating mass by switching to carbon fibre wheels. This is the most noticable mod you can do to your bike. You will feel the difference in just about everything the bike does. It will accellerate faster, stop faster and turn much better. Granted the wheels are not inexpensive but if you ever ride a Busa with them you will not want to ride one without them.

FULL Carbon body w/tank is worth about 50 lbs I'm told,then a titanium full system will help you lose a ton or so! Then the carbon wheels will put you under 500 I think,ask clearwaterbusa,he know the exact weights,you can also go light weight brakes as he did and drob a few more Lbs.NJ.

OnCycles is the place to get the wheels. We are a board sponsor. Please check out our website www.oncycles.com.
We have a lot of different choices besides the full carbon.
The full Carbon wheels run $3328 a set and are very strong. We do not recommend the carbon or magnesium wheels for stunting however.
The Carbon/Magnesium wheels are what I run mainly because I could color match the wheels to my bike. We are currently working on chroming the magnesium part. The hub and spoke are mag and the hoop is carbon. They are also very light. We have these in three and five spoke. The carbon/mags are $2725.
As always, any questions please call.

mag wheels are no fun on the street. i ran a set on my VMAX and with potholes and stuff it is SUPER easy to ding them up! not worth it imho.. you will just be getting it straightened after a hard bump. I've thought about carbon fiber wheels... but I have seen a carbon fiber wheel explode. I dunno, another track only item in my opinion. I would consider some PM wheels or something.... but again, seems unnecessary for a street bike!
Is there a Roy D. Mercer fan in tha house?

Full carbon bodywork
Magnesium wheels
Aluminum subframe
no rear pegs
lighter bar ends
cut all non-essential brackets off the frame under the tank and bodywork
aftermarket titanium exhaust or turbo system and no pipe
lighter aftermarket rotors
lose the brake and clutch master cylinders and go aftermarket, like PVM's and Rizzoma mini reservoirs
After all this, you will be near 440 lbs, full of fuel and oil
But it will feel like a 600 does
