These guys offer rotors with a "limited lifetime warranty against warping." http://www.baer.com/Media/ContentDetails.aspx?ContentID=106
Premium priced "Lifetime" pads are pretty common, but even from big suppliers there may be some FINE print.

Of course, a bike would have stainless rotors simply for appearance' sake.
My Corvette OTOH has simple carbon steel rotors, which also seem to work quite well but require grinding on a flywheel grinder rather than a brake lathe when turning is required, because of being too hard for the conventional turning tools.
