Default reverse rotating rotors

Interseting to say the least. http://www.motorcycle-usa.com/Articl...ID=3207&Page=1

Maybe the future is not more HP but better handling so we can use the hp we have now better.

Yea I would get one too. Sounds like a 1,500.00 mod.

You still have to deal with the human factor; just because it is the same force needed to turn at 150 as 60 you still need the confidence to be able to do it. I can not imagine it turning all of us into GP racers lol

i agree i agree but the learning curve at high speed just dropped IMO Imagine what the GP racers would do on the track!!! That would be cool to see

Damn.... That's one of those things that seems so simple that if it does work as promised, everyone will be wondering why the hell it took so long for someone to think of it!
Nice find!

thats really cool. but i think theres a disadvantage to it. one thatd be well worth it but a disadvantage none the less. he says it makes the rotors spin 2.7 times faster then the wheels speed. so that means the brakes will generate more heat and more wear on the pads.
