That's the main reason my mate bought them.

Yup, in racing the heat dissipation and weight loss is more of an advantage in racing. But even then, not everyone uses wavys. EBC, PFM, AP Racing and Brembo all make non-wavy discs for racing- PFM and AP use sintered, solid discs, and Brembo and EBC make traditional discs. (EBC also make wavys, but they're totally fashion led)
And in high level racing, they're moving away from ferrous discs entirely- carbon fibre and kevlar! (I doubt we'll ever see these on the road, from what I've heard- they take too long to heat up and don't work well when cold)

If he could nab me a pair of those galfer fronts for the GSXR front end, at that price, I'd be interested

Lesse... i think it's 97-2002 750, 96-2004 (?) 600, 2000-2002 thou. Basically anything from SRAD and onwards that doesn't have radial calipers. Cheers! (must... ditch... manky... prolites....)
