I know a guy (Mike Wiggins of RX7 Heaven in Dexter MO) who has a single rotor engine made from mazda parts and a custom E-shaft...this was made by a Mazda engineer in his spare time during the 80s. I think he said he'd sell it for $500.

I'm not familiar with quad bikes but just imagine a standard Mazda 12a but half as long.

Yamaha makes the Banshee. With some tuning they're pretty scary already with thier twin cylinder 350 2 stroke. Unless you use the norton engine how are you going to do the transmission and drive train?
