Why do they hate rotaries? They're just as loud and polluting as motorcycles, but everybody loves motorcycles. Motorcycles don't have to take emissions testing because of their polluting two-stroke engine, but rotaries do? Rotaries are two-strokes too! What gives?

I thought motorcycles were all 4 stroke now?

I know my car pollutes more than any other motorcycle I've seen.

tress fall down when I pass them !

they're only illegal in some states (CA ect)



soon my rotary will be a hybrid between the two, (premix) that makes me twice as deadly

The only motorcycles sold in the USA that are two stroke are dirt bikes with small displacment engines.. lol.. "THAT ARE FOR OFF ROAD USE ONLY"

rotary is a 4 stroke (four cycle would be more appropriate), it has four distinct cycles: intake, compression, combustion, and exhaust. Two stroke has only an intake stroke and a power stroke.

Yeah it will be fun getting my car inspected in a year. I think i'm either goin to slip the guy a 50 or i'm just goin to ride around without inspection.

I have no problems with NY's stringent emissions laws. The car actually gets put on a dyno, and driven up to 55mph. I pass with flying colors.





I'll say it 4 ******* million times, its all in the tuning

People are afraid of what they don't understand.

The only thing 2 stroke is dirtbikes. Motorcycles made in recent years have to adhear to pollution laws like anything else. You want to talk about the most polluting items on the planet take a look at the lawnmower EVERYONE uses to mow their lawn.



Keep in mind that motorcycle engines tend to be a lot more efficient the most of the other rigs on the road, sportbikes at least, the Hardley Ablesons and what not are always being fucked with. Your V-twins tend to be a little less efficient.



Do you really want to compare a 1300 cc hyabusa engines efficiency and pollution output to a 1300 cc rotary? I think you'd be eating a pretty big humble pie, best to come up with a new comparison LOL use the lawnmower one, everyone has lawnmowers.
