lol mel gibson as a scot was funny, but I think sean connery as a russian with a thick scots accent was the best. They just needed to rename him Angus Nijinsky.

This is one for the garage and very good summer days only.

i am suprised you don't get a sair back riding one of those bikes, i much prefer a normal road bike, like a Kawasaki

...you mazda boys and yer spinning engines

i don't think it would do anything to it's balance. a two rotor 600cc-800cc, rotary bike. and maintenance on the rotary is minimal. the only "maintenance" really, is just adding some oil between oil changes. it'll only have 3 moving parts (two rotors and the eccentric shaft). a standard 4cyl. piston 16valve engine has over 40.

just don't blow an apex seal. blown apex seal = bad day.

you do get a sore back if you ride it for long which is why ive other bikes this is just for looks and fun.

As for your comments on a "normal road bike" I think kawasaki would be pretty pissed off to hear that, they have some radical sports bikes out there, like the one above, which is basically a 200mph 200bhp behemoth. unless you call that "normal"?

They also make some ass and back pain enducing ZX sports bikes, or "ninjas" to you americans (as anyone will remember if they rode a ZX6RR).... but hey the radical position is to get maximum speed, its just a counter effect that they can hurt backs!

cool . never knew that actually. anything newer than 1976 though? the technology in the rotary has greatly improved. better fuel mileage, better emissions control, more power output, etc.

maybe mazda will make a rotary bike .

legally of course you cant...... thats why a lot of people do track days. or just do it illegally and hope they dont get caught.

That bike kind of rocks. I like it. Looks a bit small from in front but it's a really nice bike when you look at it from it's side. I bet it's performance makes up for alot of that lol.
