i have owned many deloreans....they are slow, but very fun to drive! women loved them, and also very good head turners.....my automatic will run circles around them also..... but the auto and stick shift deloreans are a good investment..i wish i kept mine!!! bummer

Man I want to see a rotary-powered motorcycle. No reason not to do it. Motorcylces are loud anyways, and the power/weight ratio would be good.

ryde or die, you want rotary powered motorcycles, i can give you rotary powered motorcycles . do a quick search and you find this:

http://www.monito.com/wankel/motorcycles.html

they have made a whole bunch of rotary bikes, especially Norton. and if you check out Ebay:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=1872235077

All the information is wrong or missing but he does say it's an RE-5, which he probably just read off the body so he doesn't know what he has .

Am i good or what

Why not... They have 1300cc bike engines. I think a 13b would be perfect Imagine how fast you would be going.... ~300rwhp on a ~550lb bike
