...and about x7 if that rotating mass in unsprung, hence a couple of grands worth of lighter wheels being the best value performance enhancement available

and remember the gyroscopic effect this has on the machine's 'turnability', which is why gp bikes rotate the crank the other way, to cancel the gyroscopic effect of the wheels, even if it means adding another rotating shaft with all the associated frictional losses
