Heavy wheels.

Put a set of new tyres on my 89 CBR over the last couple of days. Weighed the wheel/tyres. Front 13.4kg Front 15.5kg. Nearly 29kg of wheels! Wow.

These are heavy bikes, that could be a part of it.

I've been drinking. I have no answer to it

Is that why your mates tell you you're bike is slow?

It is just the discs, go carbon fiber or on a diet.

Those wheels have to hold a lot of weight and stresses!
