I'm going to make some phone calls tomorrow to find some pricing. they sound promising:
"Been lurking for some time, first post. We use ceramics extensively in Superbike applications. Both engine and chassis. I can positively document gains in top speeds with ceramic bearins in the wheels vs. steel. When we used to race at Brainerd we saw an increase of 4 mph on the front straight, thats huge. Elkhart and Daytona showed similar gains. Google TKO bearings. They will put ceramic balls in your existing bearings with the appropriate clearances. In our application, well worth the money. "
"On a chassis dyno we can see a rear wheel increase on a 600 cc bike from about 128hp to 131. Once again, documentable."
Unfortunately no link to any hard science at that forum.
They also sound $$$$$$
