I saw something similar at Daytona bike week like 2006 or 2007. Awesome looking, too bad I didn't get to hear her run.

Interesting. Though Norton built rotary powered bikes back in the 80's. You can read about them here: http://www.nortonmotors.co.uk/Produc...ls%20index.htm

Does anyone know if any of the Norton Commanders or F1s ever made it into the US and were Federalised for street use?

No, but there's a place in England where they specialize in this bikes only, I'm sure they would be able to send one oversea if you're interested($$$$$$$$) enough.
