We ride on bumpy tight roads but I also have done a fair number of track days with our SS bikes. On my 99 we have don a great deal of suspension upgrades (call it development, but it started as playing around) and I put the Carozzerria wheel on about a year later. The Carros are not super light but with the disks, I saved about 6 lbs. To me, suspension mods totally transformed the bike and made it a fantastic bike all around. The wheels only made a noticeable difference on fast turns (did help the suspension work a little better). The wheels likely made very little difference to me on the street and I doubt they were worth the $$. On the track, they helped the bike turn in better on fast corners. IMO do it in this order: Forks, Shock and then wheels. I would even put my Brembo radial master and Carbone Lorraine pads ahead of the wheels.
