Norton JPS F1 Rotary

Anyone have any prior knowledge of these bikes. I happened to stumble on one on a bike sales website in Australia and the asking price is
$39000! Apparently only 3 were imported into Australia.

Didn't even know they existed. But my knowledge of all things motorbike is sad.

$39,000 is a lot of dough, even in dollars. Don't know how much is urban legend, but I always liked em and heard they were hell for strong performance wise. I have always had a soft spot for Norton.
I'd like to see a new model rotary offered now. I'm sure advances in basic engine tech have been made in all those years.

Damn those Nortons looked BAD ASS in all black. They look like Team Evil in blacked out leathers and helmets with dark shields. They passed the Jap bikes like they were standing still.
Great video man....I would love to see more racing with those Norton's in it

I got to see the Dunlop bike at this years TT, the sad thing was that it let him down both times he tried to do a lap
but it sure looked the part
When the F1 was first shown at the british motor cycle show I was lucky enough to see it and boy did it look good, infact it would still wow the crowds today

I'd think a rotary would be good for a motorcycle application since it's lack of torque can be offset with the lower weight of a two wheeled vehicle.
What keeps rotary engines out of the mainstream?

The amount of fuel they drink?
I'm guessing.

And the fact that the added gyrospcopic effect of the engine would make it a real pregnant dog to turn in.

Steering a gyroscope don't work so well.
Possibly with multiple rotors, that turned opposing.
Given the amount of HP one is getting out of an I-4, I don't see the point.
