When he combines it with a carbon rim I know some folks that'll be in for a group buy.

REVERSE ROTATING ROTORS PROTOTYPE TRACK TESTED
Fort Myers, Florida – Inventor Robby Kasten track tested his Reverse Rotating Rotors invention on Monday, April 10th at the Jennings GP race facility in North Florida. The purpose of the test was two-fold. First, to prove that it was mechanically sound at track pace, and secondly, to verify that it improved performance as claimed. It was a resounding yes on both counts.
The test was the first time that the prototype has been pushed to that extreme, and the system handled it without a complaint. With speeds in excess of 135mph, the real story is in how the motorcycle felt. The bike transitioned with a fraction of the effort of the stock front wheel. Coming off of the high-speed back straight at Jennings GP is a test of nerves and physical strength. With Reverse Rotating Rotors it is no longer a test of strength, only nerve.
"It was an amazing day," said Kasten. "The prototype seems to be bulletproof, and it improved the performance of the bike as predicted."
