+1... Ha ha.. a second...

Yep, these are big heavy bikes that aren't gonna benefit from a lightweight alternative to proven steel.
I'll just eat one less cheeseburger and be a racing god. LOL...

The 90 I bought from a Honda mechanic had a Hyabusa chain and sprocket set on it, with a few fewer teeth on the rear for zip. I don't have any idea what it took to do that, whether it was a straight bolt on or what, but it works very well. He said it was for strength. I suspect he spent a lot of time with the front wheel in the air.

Fewer on the rear translates to higher top speed.

More on the front = same. 18 on front is as big as you can go..s'what I have
and you have to grind a bit to get it to run freely

The lower you go on the front the less the top end
The Higher you go on the rear ...again the less the top end

Very low fronts and very high rears produce wheely machines
and everything in between is pure fun to try out

I knew that. I'm an idiot. Just moving mouth prior to engaging brain. As a matter of fact he gave us an alternative FRONT sprocket which he said he tried but was shifting all the time because it was geared TOO low. The 90 is clearly geared lower than the 93 in my kid's mind, though I haven't ridden his enough lately to get a feel for the difference.
