One of those wheels weighs more than a whole new GSXR1000.

Don't look what the Superlights are fetching, I wished I'd bought one when they were dirt cheap.

A mate of mine had a blue version of this many years ago. I remember it as having better handling and brakes than any Jap offering of the day. The finish lasted about 2 weeks from new!
