hi, ive seen some r6 wheels for sale locally.
are these the same as the r1 wheels?
im looking to possibly fit them to my gen 1 if they are an easy swap.
i know it needs a one off spindle, just wondering if the r6 and r1 wheels are interchangable?
wheels are from an 09 r6 if it makes any odds.

thanks

Those 5 spoke wheels are nice!

But R6 rear wheels are 5.5, Busa (and r1) is 6” wide.
Fronts I think are the same

but a 5.5" rim can help to drop rounding-times ata circuit by better agility and causes less lean angle (with 180 tires) in corners than 6.0" rims (with 190 tires) at same speed.

the physical effect to that phenomen you can read here at my homepage
and here in the net too (a german bike newspaper)
