I would love to see one of these bullets in a build. Look at those torque and HP curves!
I'm seeing a turbo race motor with the same kind of awesome shriek at full throttle as the wankel mazda's mill. Do something like the exhaust on a radial wrapped around to a hairdryer...glowing cherry red at WFO...raising the hair on the cat five miles away....
Anyone got $20k burning a hole in their bank account?

One of the guys that is behind those engine's design used to be a pretty good friend. We have lost touch over the past few years though. It is a great little engine. But, yes it is pricey....

One of these on a bike would be awesome, de-tuned of course.

If they could make it a little smaller, high output alternator, would be perfect for a electric/gas hybrid.

The wankel has a sound unlike anything else on earth! I'd love to hear one of these german mills at full song....

Norton has a history of rotary motorcycles, it would be great if there was a cheaper mini rotary out there for us to use. I'm very familiar with them from their use in race cars and they are a reliable engine for continuou full throttle redline operation.
