How about a rotary powered motorcycle?

Haggard, not running and no title.

neat, but with basically no parts availability makes this a nightmare to get running again. Probably best as a parts bike.

Instead how 'bout Mazda 13B sitting sideways, Harley tranny behind it, belt or chain drives from motor to trans, trans to rear wheel.
Hilarity to ensue ....

Rotary motorcycles seem like a good idea on paper, but don't seem to work out that well in the real world. I'd still like to try one someday.

I alao noticed that the RE5 has a kick start lever, I wonder if its actually possible to kick start it when its cold?

As I recall, these weren't terribly reliable.

They had a lot of overeating issues. Aparenly rotarys run hot. Who woulda thought...

This guy is always selling stuff that has been dragged out of a ditch somewhere. He spams all the CL in the IL area with it.

I'm betting you could almost knock that price in half without him batting an eye.

I still want it :(

but bikes terrify me.

If parts were available, it's be a cool engine for a go kart or small dune buggy.
