This looks quite smart. And I'm definitely in the market for a device that performs this task.

Looking for bike turning solutions. Can construct floor to suit device at this point.

You get them for just under one wheel. Much cheaper.

Rentec also make paddock stands with castors.

I have the Lazy Parker which i believe was the original in this genre of wheelable stands. I'd be f@@ked without it in all honesty.

I have a few saved links as I was always going to do something like this too...

A couple of DIY options (plenty more on youtube I think)

I used to watch salesmen spin bikes round on their side stands at the old George Whites in Swindon.

I finally plucked up the courage to do it on my STR and got quite proficient.

If I could do it I'm sure you can with your Yamaha.
