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.”
