Reducing unsprung weight is about the best thing you can do to a motorcycle. It greatly improves braking, acceleration, and general feel and charactaristics of any bike.

With a question like that you probably wouldn't understand anyway. Oh yea, my bike and every dime invested was cash.. $ 0.00 credit card balance. Thanks for your concern.
NE, blackstone tek are the lightest at 5.5lbs front and 9.0lbs rear. They are also the most expensive. The PVM's above that I want are 15lbs rear and 10lbs front.
Hope today need to get some shoots up.
Wow that is very light.

can't you see that i'm jealous.Sorry ut tha was funny. Why do we add stuff HP, wheels, paint, chrome...Because we like it.
but anyway its depends what are your goals:
-win a race at any cost
-personal achievement
-too much money
I don't need it, if you need it and can afford it I envy you.
Don't get me wrong, I'm an engineer so I know a little bit the law of physics...
good luck with your choice

very nice wheelsI have both 10 spoke Forged Magnesium Marchesinis
and I also have a set of the BSTs
The fit and finish of both are PERFECT - The BSTs are indeed a tad lighter than the forged
You couldn't go wrong with either.

Guys,
If you are interested Sport Rider Magazine did a great article on after market wheels and listed the weight and prices for all of the major brands. The also measured each set for MOI - moment of inertia - and explained the importance of the spec. You might want to check it out

grab - THANK YOU VERY MUCH - I appreciate that a TON - The bike is on it's way back from Superkaos right now - I had a few more "goodies" done to it - I'll post updated pics when it gets back - It's hot though
vince - I am using Vortex sprockets and have been VERY happy with them - The BSTs & the Marchs use the EXACT same bolt pattern - so I can interchange with no problems
www.vortexracing.com - good people to deal with
grab - here's a lil taste of one of my new mods
Thanks again for the props
vince - if you need any help - just yell
