agree on the carbon front its a lot more ridged material.Perkles wrote:I had a set of 30 year old forged fuchs mag wheels on my 911 and it had done 250,000 miles including driving across the usa, Europe and many many track days
They were refurbed once and checked for cracks ,not even a hint of wear on them
I'd be more worried about using carbon on the road after destroying a set of pushbike wheels last year
Ps looks good in black innit

Re: 2015 Yamaha R1
If i were to buy one of the new bikes as a road bike, i suspect the Yamaha might be the one i went for now.

It does sound like they've given this some serious thought. I wonder if it eliminates the need for something like a power commander?
