As for not changing anything with the crank spinning backwards, ever pay attention to the freestyle guys, and how they use the throttle to either lift or drop the front end? The same forces happen whether the bike is in the air or on the ground.

As well as there are a number of yamaha engines that had 2 cranks, which iirc at least some of them had cranks that spin opposite each other.
exactly, the cyz has counter rotating cranks. Ought to be a very neutral bike. Doubt he'll ever make them affordable though
