Rotary Motorcycle

How about Mazda getting involved in the production of a rotary motorcycle. Remember, Norton of Great Britain produced a rotary motorcycle with great success in the Isle of Mann race. That was years ago. The technological improvements since then are phenominal. Motorcycles are naturally light of weight and high of revving, and consequently ideal candidates for rotary power.

What are your thoughts??

i think a rotary motorcyle would absolutely fly! the bike is already at least 13000 rpm red line, imagine a rotary redline? Almost like an f1 (hopefully)

it would be a great match for the turbine bikes out there. They literally sound like a jet! (heard jay leno's on speed channel).

A rotary motorcycle would be a great addition to any enthusiast. If they actually produce this then my dream garage would consist of, an FD, Rx-8, and a rotary bike.

Rotary motorcycle? Isn't that too much power for a motorcycle? And, how long ago was that motorcycle built?

I also read somewhere that someone made a lawnmower with a rotary engine.
