A motorcycle equipped with reverse rotating rotors can change
lean angle as easily at 180 m.p.h. as it can at 20
m.p.h.

Call me an old man, but at 180 I'm gonna want to keep it going in a straight line.

Interesting concept, though.

Call me an idiot (idiot!), but doesn't the "gyro" effect actually stabilize the bike to actually stay upright? I don't want the bike to suddenly try to turn a 90 degree corner just because I hit a rock or stick in the road. Something seems off in their thinking (or mine). Also, sounds like a heavy COUNTER-rotating mass in your wheels is not my idea of "less unsprung weight".
Thanks, but no thanks.

It might be like power steering on cars..we all have that now.

I'm not saying I agree...but I do find it a bit interesting....:eusa_think:

I might find it interesting if I could understand what they were saying. But I don't as it is currently explained.
