Suzuki/Norton/Sachs engines?

I'm not ready for this project anytime soon, because I'm still in school and all, but I wanted to know where you could buy smaller rotary engines such as the RE5 motor? Or any of the Norton engines or Sachs engine to put into a motorcycle? I've seen people do it but I've had no luck finding one or prices, also I'm trying to find one with a rebuild kit if possible to be able to start it from square one, possibly streetport it for fun. Any help would be great I'm just trying to start getting prices for this just to see how much a project like this would cost, like I said I'm not ready for a project like this yet but I would like to see what all this project involves and the amount of money I'd have to put into it. Any threads of people building these or more information would be great too. Any help at all would be great though, thanks fellas.

Suzuki never made a rebuild kit for the RE5, they had dealers pull the motor and ship back to Japan. I would be surprised if Norton or Hercules ever offered a rebuild kit.

That said, all of these engines do come up for sale on ebay every so often. The RE5 is going to be the easiest to find and the most supported specifically because of rotaryrecycle.net.
