sorry, guess you're into chorme. I believe in the "form follows function" thing.I think for $2300.00, they should look a lot better than that.

Streak, lowered and extended you know you'll have the advantage. I could have swore I saw you at Atco last time. I noticed your bike but didn't catch your buddies Ford truck. I'll be ready in a few weeks. I got a couple things still goin' on before I get back on the track.

The lighter wheels will enable greater acceleration, but will do absolutely nothing for top speed.
And I like how you delve into physics and make it painless. You simply skip it!
All the same, nice looking machine...

have to agree 110%sorry, guess you're into chorme. I believe in the "form follows function" thing.I think for $2300.00, they should look a lot better than that.
chrome dont get you home
and it dont help you kill the liter bikes either
I only cut/paste the breakdown above about the cycles charactaristics. I did it to just to give some people an idea of what benifits of reducing reciprocating mass are. I do believe they would increase your top speed within a given distance.
boost can be reliable, you're right. But it's usually hit or miss when it's first installed. I've seen it on this board let alone heard many horror stories. Also have you ridden a boosted bike. It usually nothing... nothing ...... nothing..... then all of a sudden you're pointing straigt up to the sky. To me thats unusable horsepower.
I agree with greater top speed within a given distance, that's acceleration. (F=ma) (Wheels rotate, pistons reciprocate)
I just can't help getting drawn into physics as at 39 years old, I've gone back to school to study astrophysics. Hope I didn't offend you.

thanks man!I think they look killer..And its only money right .. If you got it flaunt it..LOL
not at all, I just didn't want credit for someone elses write up.
Here's another cut/paste. Take it for what its worth. Fits Years:1999-2004
Marvic Penta II Magnesium Wheels - Suzuki Hayabusa
Lightweight magnesium wheels for closed course competition. Top teams in AMA roadracing, as well as GP racing use Marvic wheels. Wheels are stocked in popular widths. Special orders can be accommodated. Wheels are finished in either a Black or White Powder Coat. Some wheels are available in a gold chromate finish for painting by the end user
Wheels are listed by part #. We can provide matched sets for most applications, and can provide mixed sets, such as GSXR series front, and SV rears for Suzuki SV racers who have swapped out the front suspension.
Wheels are supplied with necessary adapters and cush drive. Valve stems are included. The front stem is a 90-degree model on most applications.
PERFORMANCE - We have documented improvement in both ET and MPH in drag race applications. For a Hayabusa, one can expect to see your ET drop by 0.15 sec. MPH should increase by 2mph. This is the equivalent to about 3HP more in the motor.
STRENGTH - Marvic wheels are among the toughest on the Market. Our current record for the highest HP bike using Marvic wheels is 580hp. We are looking for more.
WARRENTY - All Marvic wheels purchased directly from an Authorized Dealer are warranted to be free from manufacturing defects for 1 year.

Wheels look great! That is probally the next mod I am going to do. On the Rennsports, what kinda of milleage are you getting? I have been shredding a M1 in under 1000 miles. I just installed a set of Michelin H2. Hopefully I can make 1000 miles with those.......
