I like it. It'll be expensive probably about £20k but they always were exclusive bikes, don't think they've ever stopped making the old ones ?, They'll have no trouble selling this new one. would get lots of attention turning up to a bike meet on one.

not for me. I forgot about that old lump from the '80s that was the UK's manufacturing combeack. Ugly then, ad now i think. Interesting the fuel is under the engine, and air cooled?? On the lik was the mention of this - any company that designs, name's it a Vortan and markets it needs putting away

Not a looker is it .
On a concept bike has anyone one fitted a rotary fiddler engine ?
Just thinking as they are compact and light with huge power

[AMCQ46]

Only remember a few rotary bikes

Suzuki RE5
NSU
VanVeen
Norton

Can't think of any new ones

And what the hell is that green one that BVG posted......did the concept the first rat bike back in the 80s?

Even the designers were sick at the sight of the finished product, look at the colour!

The Hesketh 24 is due out soon at £35,000. Check out the pics, I like the look of it and good to see another V2 on the market -

i went to Poole bike night last Tuesday and some bloke had fully made some weird maroon bike by himself apart from the pistons and liners.
it was a 5 1/2 litre V twin using a Pratt and Whitney aeroplane block, liner and pistons , but he had made everything else himself, inc crankshaft and casings. It sounded fooking awesome but he made it look too old, it had an ign advancer etc. gobs of torque though.

isn't this using a Harley donk?

S&S engine.

I quite like that. Good to see some V twins still being produced. Maybe there will be a twin revival.
