Hi Folks New to this forum. I have just bought a 2009 track bike. Never owned a blade before and so lacking knowledge. I want to find a spare set of wheels for it. Can anyone tell me what years wheels will fit a 2009 model? Do they have to be from the same model year or are there various years that would fit?
2008 - 2016 wheels will fit. The 2008-2013 models had the 3 spoke rims and the 2014 - 2016 had the multispoke rims, either will fit your bike but the multispoke ones are more expensive. Expect to pay about £400 for a set of 3 spoke rims and about £650 for a set of multispoke rims.
This chap on here has some nice lighter rims for sale... https://www.1000rr.co.uk/threads/cbr1000rr-galespeed-rims.40879/
Good start to my forum experience. Cheers for the info guys. I will start trawling around the net for a set. Anyone know of anywhere specific I should be looking or just ebay, market place etc? Dont want to spend top dollar just want a set to keep with wets on in case it pisses down at a trackday.
I've been looking for a set of spare wheels..got a rear but fronts are like hens teath.. I've gone down the Chinese route.. ordered a set of 2012 new wheels for £419.. Not much difference in price from second hand three spoke wheels.. Had Chinese brake discs on my spare sets before so I'll give them a go.
I did consider the chinese copies but once I factored in the front/rear disc costs too it worked out the same price as getting a used pair of genuine Honda ones with discs for about £600. I'll be intrested to see what you think of them once they arrive.
