Also, you will notice that only the GN has the plastic tires with the thin, plastic strip on the inside of the tire. The GNX has rubber tires. The GNs were used for actual races and ride on just the thin track of plastic to decrease the surface area they ride on.

The weight is specifically because they race them down these metal tubes, same reason as the thin plastic tires to limit friction. Also, this why so many of the 1,500 made, especially of the GN, went overseas. This type of racing is big outside the US apparently.
