Here's a teaser. Was over seeing a mate that I hadn't seen for a while. He had this in his shed.

Can anyone guess what this is?

Suzuki RE5 Rotary???? there's one in the motor museum here in Launceston.

I saw and heard an RE5 running at the Broadford Southern Classic. Very different to a twin rotor in sound.

This one is just around the corner and is one of only a handful in the country. He's just waiting for the tank to come back from paint.

awesome machine

Norton Motorcycles had the Commander model as a Wankel engine.
