CR700P Rotary engine
Rotary Motorcycle
Holey Moley! I love those engine numbers, especially for a 700cc engine. The engine name is pretty cool. Gotta love rotory engines :cool: I wonder what the "pressurized gas cooling system" is all about? EDIT: As long as we are talking about really neat motorcycles, check this out Ducati V-One. |
From the look of that frame(and bike over all) I say its actually a Norton modified by those guys, still though, those are some sweet numbers.

You watch the video? Damn! That engine sounds like a Indy car :) I love the rider's comment afterwards haha
|
Yes.
Looked into the company and it is a modded Norton two rotary system. |

The sound of that engine... love it..... almost like the two stroke race bikes, also reminds me a bit the RG250 with a deeper sound.

I had a Suzuki RE-5 rotary motorcycle. Worst motorcycle to keep running right. But torque like a tractor.

Not! Last month I helped a co-worker start tear down of his rx-8 engine. Unbelievable gummed up carbon buildup like I've never seen before. Looked like black tar and there was lots of it. Seals were toast @ less than 100k miles. Apex and side seals make this design vulnerable [long term].

RX8 is the worst example, RX7 motors was so much better but regardless its apex seals are its down fall.

Rotary bike
I've road raced a Mazda RX-7 for quite a few years now. They can be quite reliable with many cars getting up to 50+ hrs on a race motor with no tear downs. The problem they have is they make an ENORMOUS amount of heat. I can see this as an issue due to the size of radiator these bikes are limited to. Hell of a motor with big numbers though!
