Seven pounds equals one horsepower. Carbon fiber besides looking cool cuts weight.
Along with the reduction of weight / increased horsepower, handling is effected by mass. Less mass better or quicker handling. It is all incremental. Depending on the depth of your wallet.
I must admit that I find it kind of funny talking to people about what is sensible when talking about motorcycles. Especially ZX12's, busas' GSXR's, R1's etc. What is sensible about a 170 mph plus motorcycle? Duhf! I need it to drive to the golf course!!!
One piece of advice for everyone with a CF front Fender. Tire spray tends to slowly erode the center front edge of the fender. I have found a discreet 3 or 4 inch piece of duct tape on the bottom side of the fender stops this.
Have fun!!
