One rotary that doesn't seem to have deserved a mention on any of the
rotary web sites is the Suzuki RE-5 motorbike. Was it ever released in
America? In New Zealand it sank like a stone in the market about the
mid-seventies. The reports I read were of dreadful styling (seem that
blob of engine didn't appeal to motorcyclists), an awful frame made out
of structural bubble gum, and a nice, turbine smooth, powerful engine.
Could make a good basis for a ultralight engine. A Hummelbird with a
fully faired engine?!!.
