These are the Awesome BST Carbon Fiber Wheels being bounced off the floor at Rever Corsa. We put these wheels on all of our project and personal motorcycles.

The price is quite steep to be sure. But if you've already got a decent sportbike and the money to do it, then why not? I'm also thinking about the Carbon Matrix Composite rotors, mono-bloc calipers, and a new fuel controller (why get a power commander when I can replace the ECM?). Time will tell. I'd love to get by bike to about 400-410 lbs.

You're quite right. If you've got a good starting point and appreciate the gains, namely quicker turn in and EASIER turn in because of a lighter rotating mass acting as a gyroscope, they're 1000% worth the money.
