Daytona 1000 / Sport 1100 Wheel Weights

[kristians]

Folks,

 

A bit of information to stick in the repository. Bare wheel weights from Teo Lamers for 1st gen. Daytonas and carb Sports, 6-spoke 17"/18"s:

 

Front: 6.5 Kg.

Rear: 7.7 Kg.

 

Wow.

 

Best,

I wonder how this compares to later, Brembo-made, 1100Sport-i and V11 wheels?

I wonder how this compares to later, Brembo-made, 1100Sport-i and V11 wheels?

I don't yet have numbers but I do know the wheels off my Daytona (currently only the rear is still on it, the front is rolling around in my garage) are dramatically heavier than the wheels on the wifes V11, and those wheels are heavier than the wheels on my Griso.

The Daytona wheels feel stupidly heavy in a simple picking them up comparison. The GSXR front wheel I am currently running is likely half the weight of the wheel it replaced.
