Norton NRV588: The Rotary-Powered Motorcycle
Thanks to an aluminum frame along with carbon fiber parts, the Norton NRV598 weighs just 287-pounds and is powered by a twin-rotor Wankel rotary engine that generates 170bhp @ 11,500rpm. Video after the break.
Pay special attention to the exposed exhaust pipes, which reportedly get so hot they need to be made from Inconel.[via Autoblog]
