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
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.

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].

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!
