I have been dreaming of owning a wankel motorcycle for years now. Suzuki made one for a couple of years, and there was another called the Hercules. Both are very rare and getting more expensive.
So I've been toying with the idea for a bit now and I think if I could find or build a single rotor e-shaft that i could make it work with a divorced transmission and Mikuni carb. Still haven't worked out ignition but it shouldn't be too hard.

I have a few 13Bs lying around. Anyone make the eccentric shaft i need?

Better yet, if any of you have the Suzuki RE-5, and want to get rid of it, let me know.

 

Call Mazdatrix and Racing Beat and let us know what they say.

 

atkins has a 1 rotor engine..

 

there are quite a few suzuki re5s around for sale. anywhere from 1k to 6-7k restored examples. you will probably have to ship but they arent so rare that they are never on ebay. probably see a new re5 on ebay every week.

at very least, get a suzuki gt750 and the re5 engine and do a swap. essentially the same bike, just 2stroke 3cyl vs rotary.

 

call rotary recycling =)

 

I believe Atkins sells a single rotor eccentric shaft. I found a 1968 Seadoo just yesterday locally. Was toying with the idea of building a single rotor engine for it. Just not sure if that would solve the exploding issue those things had....

listen to Rotarypolo. Rotary recycling is the best when it comes to rotary motorcycles. people from all around the world call him for parts. here are some pics of the bikes he brought to DGRR
