Also,
Dukedesmo sums up the advantages of lightweight wheels perfectly.

With respect to the improved acceleration, I would say that it felt like the carbon wheels had given the bike at least an extra 10bhp if not more ... and remember the 750 only produces 60 odd bhp in the first place so we're talking over 15% increase.

Another advantage of the tune-up that comes from lighter wheels is that the improved performance (unlike engine tuning) puts no extra load whatsoever on any component part .. in fact it reduces overall stress in more than one area.
Its like magical free performance (apart from financially of course).
