VIN tag states that this bike was manufactured by Rapid Motion - is that peculiar to the Australian market ? Were Rapid Motion responsible for making sure it was compliant?

At least the Vin tag matches the frame serial number stamped on the headstock...another one for your register Geekay?

Old mate at Springwood has one as well that he has recently imported from Japan - it was on his facefart feed. Be interesting to see the condition and what he asks for it. This one might be a bit rich for me given you have to throw in the $1,000 to get it to Qld. Given the other one in Qld was on the market for years at $22,000 I wish them well.

Actually the other one was only on the market for $22k for about a year or so. It was originally listed a few years ago at $29k Shocked

Whilst it's pretty to look at, it won't be anything special to ride until the Anteras have been chucked away. But then you've got a bike that'll give you as much pleasure as anything else and probably more at that sort of money.

As someone who can't afford to outlay $4k on a set of light wheels, and I've never had the pleasure of riding a bike with light wheels, I am quite satisfied with the handling on my SB6 with the Antera wheels. I appreciate that it may be much better with light wheels, but I don't know any different so it is what it is. The bike still handles and goes way better than I can ride it anyhow.

In saying that..... I'd still love to get a set of light wheels for my SB6 one day when I can afford such luxury Laughing Wink

I've got superlight wheels on my Laverda 750 (when I had them repainted I was amazed how light they were) and can't say I notice anything different - then again I am old and slow.........

I will say I noticed a difference on my Katana when I converted to tubeless - knocked ~1.5kg out of the rear wheel, and ~800gm out of the front.
