I purchased my gold Carrozzerias from Brock...they are far less expensive than the BSTs and a little less on the cool factor, but they make a huge difference in handling. I prefer the turns over the straight line and it makes the 14 feel like a 600. It almost falls into the turns with the lighter wheels and I felt it turned easier than a friend's R6.

I've ridden a busa with BST wheels on it and didn't care for the handling. A busa should not FALL into corners. It would be awesome on the dragstrip, but would take a lot of getting used to on the street.

I'm ready to see a brock LSR zx14 smack the fuck out of the HPC bike since they talk like they're the only people that can make anything fast.

question:
aren't lighter wheels on any bike = less rotating mass which means less stopping distance, better handling, faster acceleration when compared to the heavy stockers

I've actually weighed a stock front 14 wheel vs a BST no rotors on either.The BST was 5lbs lighter.My buddy Madkawracer did a 11:00 wheelstand slammed down and broke it!Didnt weigh the back cause its still on the bike.
