Paul,
Have you seen this video of the Suzuki RE-5?  Especially interesting is
the peripheral port and the things they do with the exhaust pipe.  Does
anyone know what was used to coat the rotor housing?  The narrator spoke
of the ease of servicing.  Can anyone who owned one of these bikes
comment on that aspect?  Could we find any photos of a teardown?  Dealer
service training info?  Perhaps some knowledge gained can be used for
aircraft engines.  What caused the demise of this bike?

That is cool. Here are some pictures I have.

I have no idea why they stopped building it.

Jim,
Nice find!
They didn't give much up on the rotor housing surface treatment, but could
be why they stopped making them.
Interesting about the butterfly in housing (as in Powersport), also about
the smaller ports for idle.
The exhaust is not exactly what I have designed for my exhaust but along
similar lines i.e. fed from the front and cools from the OD, I also have a
cool tube inner.
