Hmm, could someone make a custom rotary powered bike with a whole 13B? Would the weight be a disadvantage?

Couple of links on them:



http://www.rotaryrecycle.net/W2000.asp



http://tom93r1.kicks-***.net:8080/im...auto/index.htm



And the guys over at www.vintagerotaries.com are nuts about them. There was one two rotor bike that was made, but I don't know **** about it. I think that it is a 12a or 10a.



And they are being sold on ebay sometimes.

The Norton F-1 had two rotors? Was it a 10a,12a or 13b? I think the rotary bikes are kick ***.

Norton didn't use a Mazda engine in their bikes.
