No way hyperplates are awsome. I know the owner of the company and he run a performance shop in South Elgin, Illinois called Fornarelli Racing. I have put these plates in all my bikes but i use stock friction plates. I was told those are the best to use and last the longest. My turbo bike put down 412rwhp and my n/a bike is over 200 and i have had not a single problem. You will feel a differance in how fast it revs up. Alot of pro riders use them. Every bike i have has those in them even if it is for street or track they work great either way. I even have a set on order for my r1 as well. But for 150.00 its deffinatley worth that for the hayabusa. Awsome Awsome product.
