How do lighter wheels change handling?

[RedBull]

I had a '79 RD400 Daytona that had shaved heads, ported, polished, Boydsen reeds, Micron pipes, Wiseco pistons, K&N pods and professionally tuned...it was a real terror to ride and surprised many a bigger bike..

My first street bike was a '74 Kawi 250 triple...it was real heavy for a 250 but had gobs of power....and the sound........and 2 stroke smell........

I wish I still had them today .

I like the start/finish straight. It has a slight dogleg in it that feels like a 90 degree turn at 160 mph! Also the twisting run down hill on the back half is cool but spooky if you are a rookie!

It took me an entire day to get over how fast you could come down that hill, and still make the turn onto the straight...and hitting that apex on the front straight correctly at speed...but the track does have good grip.
