Well, you know how it is.... once you start it's hard to stop. This Wank... OK, rotary powered bike gets it from Mazda.

All kidding aside, I'm not a huge fan of that 'Mazda's' bodywork. But I would like to hear that thing rev! I don't know much about Rotarys, Rotaries... Rotari? Are they not smooth running?


One more for good measure. Hope my mom doesn't catch me.

 This keeps up, we may need to dedicate a thread to Rotarys Only! :D

  How about a miniature Tractor Pull Rig, powered by a Rotary Engine?

"How about a miniature Tractor Pull Rig, powered by a Rotary Engine?" Come on now Bill that's just crazy talk!

Rotary powered... sidecar. In-sane.

Theoretically speaking the rotary mazda engine was a smooth engine. Given it's rubber based motor mounts and at one time even had the rumor of balance shafts.

I believe this is another if not the same interpretation of the earlier bike posted by Ecosse...




Just so you know... That lower bodywork was specially designed to house the radiator. Ugly as it may be, (I don't like it either) it seemed to work great in this application.

And as for me seeming to find all kinds of stuff...... lol I have absolutely NO life. But thanks for the compliments guys.

No life eh? Wouldn't know what that's like. No sir, wouldn't have a clue. That's why I'm up at 3a.m. posting away. ;D

Hey... is that a Tracker I spy in the background of the first picture? No hijacking there pal!

Is that Evo the really expensive (and nice looking) one I see posted in Trackers? Forget the guys name just now but he builds street trackers or offers kits I think.

Yeah it sure is! I think the guy responsible built some other crazy beast too but I hesitate in saying it was more than eight cylinders.

I had to do a double take when i first saw it, i would love to some more pics if you have any.
One thing, the front four cylinders look like they are running into a 4 into 2 exhaust, but its not really clear, the rear ones must exit the other side so i`m guessing its running two 4 into one exhausts. You have any more details on this or the builder?

I think if you right click this image then hit 'view image' then left click you can read the text a bit better.

From the same nut... guy. v12.


A piece about the 12. Maybe get a back issue?
http://www.classicmechanics.com/bissue/2003-10.htm

Don't know much about this one or who built it. Seven cylinder two stroke. Geez.

Thanks mate, i just noticed the second set of exhausts on the first bike, it exits under the seat, four sets of 2 into 1, must be hell when the mufflers go rusty ;)

This guy is really crazy, but bloody good crazy. Love his work

Good eye on the exhaust! I never questioned the routing possibly I was always staring at the spectacle of the engine.

Bet he cooks his little swimmers with the exhaust so close to the seat.

interesting stuff, a moped with a full fairing ???
Seems they were fairly big in the small cc racing divisions in the day

How about the bridgestones! I have a 67 BS-50 and a BS-90 Engine and Frame...

I think everyone I've ever shown it to can tell me a story about their old Bridgestone...
