1974 Hercules W 2000 - Rotary Power Bike!

Well, My brother came to visit me and I decided to take him to the Barber Motorsport Museum and guess what I saw...

Wankel Powered, single rotor, air cooled engine..

Here are some pics I took..





















Barber has 4 x RE 05 they are restoring as we speak.. They don't have ETA on them...

You missed the BMW rotary and Suzuki RE-5. The BMW is way up on the back side of the BMW rack along the row of windows (Like 5 wide and 3-4 tall ??)

Was it a Barber?? I was looking for the RE-5 and even ask the guy if the RE 5 was out or not.. They said it was still in the warehouse.. I didn't see the rotary BMW... dang! I guess I have to go back
