Wow we've run off the rails pretty quick here. A lighter wheel is going to be easier for the suspension to control, and easier for the rider to steer.

Same for cars, motorcycles, bicycles, and so on. It's Got nothing to do with counter-steering.

Kludging in some crazy BAR style counter rotating gearbox to cancel torque or reduce inertia is just nutty when there are simple and reliable fixes like lighter rotors, or a lighter wheel.

The old saw about re-inventing the wheel is really lost on these guys.
