The price is quite steep to be sure. But if you've already got a decent sportbike and the money to do it, then why not? I'm also thinking about the Carbon Matrix Composite rotors, mono-bloc calipers, and a new fuel controller (why get a power commander when I can replace the ECM?). Time will tell. I'd love to get by bike to about 400-410 lbs.

You're quite right. If you've got a good starting point and appreciate the gains, namely quicker turn in and EASIER turn in because of a lighter rotating mass acting as a gyroscope, they're 1000% worth the money.
