The rotary Nortons above sound surprisingly similar to some two-stroke bikes, until you listen a little more carefully. A bike with a rotary would be amazing, even if just for the reactions people would give once they worked out what was going on.

Why does everyone think rotaries are good?
Mazda made them reliable, but no one wanted to pay the initial price for said reliability.
If I thought Rotaries were good I'd own one... alas I have a poor ol 750 4![]()
Built for speed, not for comfort
I owned one, (Car: RX 7, 12a) never thought they were good though.
Just a hell-ov-alot o fun !!
They break, they guzzel more than the space shuttle and when they are going good, they chew gearboxes & drivetrains.
But that feeling when the secondaries opened up full on the old 4-barrrel nickey. - Priceless.
It would often backfire, quickly followed by a slight wheel spin (depending on the gear selection) and screaming so loud and high piched birds would drop. awesome.
If i had the time an money id own one again.
