@cardiffmc I have always had a bike from the age of 16, so was never a born again biker. I can't see anything wrong with getting back on a bike later in life though.
Haha! The wind ruble in the mike sounds ominous. And then the Norton bursts along. Brilliant! Even sounds mean on the overrun (did I get that right?).
the reason why a rotary sounds like it is revving really high is because a rotary engine has combustion on every single rotation of the rotor, but a 4 stroke piston engine has 1 full cylinder movement (up and down) where there is no combustion so it doesnt sound like it is revving as high.
A single rotor has THREE combustions for every rotation of the rotor. The rotor turns at 1/3 the speed of the crank. The crank needs to turn 1080 degrees to fire all six rotor faces.
1080Deg = 6 pulses
6 divided by 3, times 2 = 4 pulses over 720
So a twin rotor has 4 firing pulses per 2 crank revs, just like a 4 cyl motor.
Yeah, you are wrong. And now you are just looking stupid. Are you trying to say now that rotaries have no distinct induction-compression-expansion-exhaust stroke?
Face it, you got OWNED! Can't prove me wrong, can't deny what you wrote was utter shit (and I quoted you), so you resort to calling me a bogan. Nice one tiger.
If you find error in the Wiki entry, please, enlighten us all with your wisdom. Tell us all where it is wrong. Otherwise, just shutting up would be a sensible option.
You need to learn some debating skills sonny. Just saying something is wrong, doesn't make it so. You need to give reason and logic, and fact.
benny bear, 1995? what, you mean this version or the norton/rotary concept alltogether? if the latter, then 1975 would be nearer the mark but things really took off between norton/wankel engines during the mid 80's to mid 90's. steve spray/trevor nation then later on, robert dunlop and jim moodie(i think). hizzy did very well on it at the TT aswell. brian crighton the man who made it all happen, not sure if he is involved in this project or not. awesome sounding bike.
Yeah ! That doesn`t surprise me !! Ron Haslam raced a couple of GPs in `91 ! Came 15th in the British GP ! Not bad for its first race against the 500 two strokes !! Rule change in order eh !!
what in the hell is that noise? did he just short-shift up every gear coming onto the straight? or was it purposely on & off the throttle? why so herky jerky?

Oh my God, you don't quit!
I'm going to quote you.....
"because a rotary engine has combustion on every single rotation of the rotor"
This statement IS WRONG!!!!
Here is your schooling for the day....
When the rotor turns one complete revolution, it will have made THREE combustion events!
I know, I know, I should have typed slower for you and used small words so you could understand, but hey, I'm just mean.
Check Wikipedia, type in WANKEL ENGINE. Very nice explanations for you there.

"because a rotary engine has combustion on every single rotation of the rotor"
a rotor doesn't have a gap between combustion cycles like a 4 stroke engine (thats why its called a 4 stroke!)
tell me how this comment is wrong?

leon, your wrong... one rotation is 3 compression strokes. one rotor is basically the equivelant of three pistons.

@scfitch actually 2 pistons once the eccentric shaft is figured in....
A 2 rotor engine fires the same # of times as a 4 cyl at the same RPM.
