NORTON F1
The World’s only rotary-engined super bike was expected to be hyper expensive but went like blazes. Unlike a conventional piston driven engine, the F1’s rotary unit had no reciprocating mass and produced its 100(or so) horsepower in a completely linear fashion. British rider Trevor Nation won a few races on the F1, but the bike was never sold to the pubic due to various problems with the engine, which Norton never had the money to sort out, if only the British company had Honda’s financial muscle, the world of very fast motorcycle might have been a different place today.
