Is there such thing as a rotor motorcycle? I am pretty sure there is, but havn't searched yet. Were could I find one and how much would it cost?
Can you still get parts for them?

I almost bidded on it, I decided that my roommates wouldn't appreciate yet another vehicle parked here. Occasionally I find parts and manuals for these bikes listed on ebay and I bet that is about the only place you can get stuff for them.

Norton made rotor motorcycles and they were pretty cool but the didn't make a whole lot of them.

Hell they have put rotors in every thing at one time or the other they just didn't sell real well and were abondoned by most companies except from mazda.
I mean they had snowmobiles, lawnmowers, outboards for boats. They were in places the 2-strokes were normally.

are they usually that cheap. I would love to have one, mainly because very few people have one. I would like one that needs to be fixed.
Were could I find a rotary lawn mower. That would be awesome.

Sachs made the lawnmower engines, for what it's worth.

I think there was even an experimental rotary chainsaw.

There was a Suzuki RE5 motorcycle for sale up here last year... $3500. Sold quicker than you could believe.

Here's a link to a bike Suzuki made with a rotary engine.

Did anybody see the Suzuki RE5 at Sevenstock? That thing was in great shape! Very nice bike.

yamaha had a 662cc motorcycle, single rotor not in production .The norton is beautiful and very costly ,the police used them . Hercules makes a single rotor cycle. Suzuki is listed .Sach is listed.

I never rode one, but they were supposed to be bit of a pig.

IMHO motorcycle is the logical place to put a rotary; high revs, light weight, low displacement, and a stress on performance over reliability.
