A guy here in New Zealand built his own 4 rotor from two 13Bs. I believe he had the Eshaft custom made to suit. It is N/A and I heard figures of around 500bhp are produced.
Regarding the Norton rotor bikes. I had the pleasure of seeing one in the flesh at a race meeting. The thing was ugly as hell, was a bitch to get running and broke down before the end of the meeting....but it sounded MEAN. Also had around 20 ppl standing around it all day long, which is what its all about.

I'd like the extra horsepower but if it’s going to behave differently, then I'd pass (other than the *** end kick from silly torque).
I seem to recall another thread about this around here somewhere... *looks around chair*
