NEW POWER FOR SUPERBIKES
You’ve heard about it for years and now it’s here. The
Wankel Rotary Engine is proving to be a revolutionary
concept in power for autos, boats, skimobiles and now
for motorcycles. Suzuki is already committed to produc-
tion and the others are scrambling for position. All over
the world major auto manufacturers are putting time,
money and materials into the development of their own
version of this fantastic power plant Mazda has now built
over 200,000 rotary engine powered cars. NSU of Ger-
many has been making and selling rotary engine cars
since 1964. Mercedes Benz brought out the fabulous
C-111 rotary-powered super car in 1969. Citroen is intro-
ducing its Wankel-powered sedan. Rolls Royce, Curtiss
Wright and now General Motors are all in on the action
and the odds are increasing every day that you will be
riding a bike and driving a car with a rotary engine by
the end of this decade.
