I'd love to try this one. Big Grin I'm sure the seat is very comfortableBig Grin

Or what to do with a rusted out dirt bike and and the shipping pallet from your new washing machine.

Corrosion not a problem. I'd get it sprayed for termites though.

Not to worry. It's got a pressure-treated frame. Big Grin

For a guy who nearly worships mid-'70s Norton Commandos, I find this to be one of the ugliest bikes ever:

Also (obviously) a huge Honda fan, but this one isn't far behind the one above in the looks dept.:

I never knew that Norton tried a Wankel as well. The only rotary bike I remember was the Suzuki RE5.

I actually saw one of these on the road last month. Unrestored with about 12K miles on it.

Yeah, back in the mid-to-late '80s, I believe.
Wankel or not, that Suzi's a lot better looking bike!

Looks like a wanker to me...

Mazda apparently just ceased their wanker production. Suppose they'll only make respectable vehicles now?
