Hi all -

The later models of this bike had most of the Suzuki GS-750 for the
cosmetics & running gear. The fancy cosmetics were dumped for
production reasons. Hope this helps -

Bryan, was the Norton always a two rotor engine?

Paul and Bill,
I got onto an Aussie expert on the RE 5, he is to send me some data on the
wear surface finishes which he claims are much better than the Norton's,
which were known to have problems (of the side castings) but fixable with a
Molybdenum coating ( why I don't know)- apparently  side seals tended to
"pick-up"  the surface coating which was the common cause of failure.
However at this stage I don't know what the surface treatments were on
either motor.
I will let you know, I assume it's a matter of interest to everyone, as it
is to me.
