I know that NSU made a motorcycle with a rotary, but that was WAYYY back in tha day. I was wondering if anyone knows of anyone attempting this, or if anyone has done it before?? It will obviously be Hard as F#CK to do, but it will be a pimp bike..lol
imagine one of them old Kawi GPZ1100 frames or Suzuki GS1100 frames with a 13bT...lmao.
dont think you could fit one in even a busa chassis....?

LOL, I rode a busa for a short distance not too long ago when I went on a ride with a group, normally I don't ride other people's bikes and no one ever rides mine, but he was like pushing me to do it so I did. 0-60, my bike pulls hard, **** you hit 60 and that ******* busa comes alive. 60-150 see ya!!!

there is one busa round here thats all hooked up for dragging. Holy **** that thing ****** dips. one of his friends has a turboed out busa. all i can say is NASTY!!!! i think its boosting about 7psi. max boost at about 12. He said he tried it once at 10, and when the turbo would spool in third gear it would pull so much that it would wanna flip...hes on crack.... Yoshimura made a Limited edition Busa, that was special order and all hooked up by them...one sweet bike... X1-R or something like that...
your right about the Norton...i actually got a pic of that bike, at least the old ones... Never knew they still made them.=)
DKW was another i know that. They were hand in hand somewhat with NSU...

I believe Suzuki made a single rotor bike. I think it was called an SE5 or something like that. You see them for sale once in a while. I remember going into a Suzuki dealership about 20 years ago and seeing one, really different looking. It was like a touring bike, but with a small rotary engine.
