Seeing and hearing riders such as Steve Spray, Robert Dunlop, Ron Haslam cane the Norton Rotarys around the TT course was imprinted on my mind for ever, 22 years of looking later I get my own Rotary! OK its no where near the highly refined machines from the genius Mr Crighton but for a fact it gave birth to the 588 Nortons. I got myself a Hercules W2000, paint and chrome was shot but it was all there and 1,400 genuine miles with a pristine rotor housing it was brought back to A1 condition without the need for rare engine parts. What does it go like? A Bantam on steroids! Pop bang wirrr bloody hilarious to ride, rubbish hunting on the overrun but I love it. DKW who sold under the Hercules name in USA committed to selling 2000 in 2 years, fell short of the target so sold the rights and production equipment to Norton. My single rotor 294 is half a Norton. Mr Crighton could you tweak my Herc please 27HP not enough!

If I remember correctly, one of the issues with rotary engines - I'm thinking of the Mazdas, was the seals at the ends of the rotors would wear and fail which was a weakness that I don't has ever been resolved. I had an RX-2 and it was pretty powerful for a small lump, and when it got to a certain RPM it was like a VTEC engine, suddenly there'd be just gobs of power and it would take off like a scalded cat.

Mazda managed to resolve the issues with the apex seals and so long as they were properly maintained, the seals would last more than 100k mls. What killed the rotary engine was not the seal issue although. many people thought it was an endemic problem, but the pollution as they couldn't get it clean enough for modern legislation. Another point was that they were thirst although Mazda eventually got acceptable fuel consumption out of them. The RX7 which was discontinued in 2002 is a modern classic and a big farorite with the retro horse power brigade. I hear that no normal garage will touch an RX7 because of the fears with the rotary engine so its left to the specialists

If some body wants a track bike that is lightweight, plenty of horsepower and only for the track, then perhaps the Suter MMX 500 could be a better option. That will at least finish a few laps at any track before needing to stop for fuel. Having a rotary bike will mean you get 15 mins of track action before needing to come in to refuel.

Why does the rotor only fire once per revolution? Wouldn't it be more efficient and more powerful to fire on every "stroke"?
@TheRaceBay
Жыл бұрын
If I've understood it correctly (and I'm nowhere near as clever as Scarbs and Brian) each of the 3 faces of the rotor is the equivalent of an individual piston in a reciprocating engine. A revolution is therefore a complete rotation of one of those faces, which in doing so passes through 4 quadrants of the rotor housing providing the 4 strokes. For a single face of the rotor then, it is not possible to fire more than once per revolution as there is nothing to ignite until the next one. If you take the rotor as a whole, it is always in 3 of the 4 Stokes at any one point during a revolution - much like a 3 cylinder inline engine would be, I suppose. I really hope someone more knowledgeable than me turns up here soon to make more sense of this!

This 1990s vintage Norton engine was originally designed by Sachs as the KC-60 developed for aircraft applications but abandoned due to reliability issues. No aircraft manufacturers use Wankel engines No Wankel engines have ever managed to pass a FAA or EASA airworthiness certification test. Wankel engines are inherently unreliable and their MTBF is extremely low, unpredictable.

the exhaust sucking air through the engine to cool it is something you will eventually see used on other bikes, maybe not rotary but air-cooled 4T engines need all the help they can get, air-cooled 4T engines are simple and easily maintained but tend to run hot so extra cooling with no moving parts is an obvious progression, it could pull hot air from the barrels & head with a shroud or casing and reworking of the fins, I'm thinking Suzuki ram-air system used on the 1970s 2T GT's hooked up to an exhaust system like this bike has ! anyone up for the challenge, get in the shed,
