I assume those are the ceramics?
Good luck in getting 'em... I've had 'em on order since May and no joy.

those are spiffy new ceramic rotors from brake-tech. supposedly better than the carbon fiber ones used in motogp... they look spifferific... WAVE ROTORS ARE LAME SAUCE.

They do look good. I have been noticing a distinct absence of their being actually present in my hands though. I already paid for them too, they did not wait for ship date before billing.

Anyone notice the CF wheels behind those cool rotors?

I was waiting to see if anyone would notice those?

I couldn't find a price on Brake Tech's website. Any idea how much those bad boys will set you back?

I think it was like $800 per rotor. But as mentioned they are vaporware, at least if you have a ZX-12R, Hayabusa, etc. Perhaps someday they will actually deliver them -- actually I suppose they will but it's been quite a wait with no firm date promised. I was told at least October (which has passed obviously) and maybe into 2006.
I guess it's a race (between turtles) of them vs JMC as to who is slower.

I'm one of those that's been waiting "forever".
In April I spoke with Jeff Gehrs at BrakeTech, the word then was "3 weeks".
On July 8 at MotoGP Laguna Seca I talked with Jeff in person, the timeline then was "3-4 weeks".
In September on another board the word was "6-8 weeks".
At least I didn't get asked for upfront money, maybe because I'd bought BrakeTech rotors previously? The credit card is ready when I get the call, so is the Busa.  The rotors pictured look different than the ones I saw at Laguna and other pics in that the surfaces appear dimpled rather than smooth, maybe that was a kink in the production process that was being worked out. Waiting is cheap, I'd rather have them right than have tham in a hurry.
