I would like to see them make a come back. I know there was one recent attempt to revive them which failed.

A 2 rotor wankle making 170BHP with 588cc is no joke. I wonder how they plan on setting up their street bikes, if it ever gets that far...

        Shame the Kenny Dreer efforts didn't work out, that was one healthy motorcycle. :( Maybe these efforts will make it. ;)

You mean the 961? They actually bought all that stuff from him and are keeping it in the works (if I read the articles right).

It's so pretty....

         That would be cool to see that the efforts by Dreer were wasted. ;) I downloaded the Norton Screensaver, while the company was still up and going and still use it. 8)
