that is correct. the suzuki rotary I believe came out in 1975, later described as an engineering masterpiece, but a marketing disaster. not many were built as they just did not sell.

I was looking for an answer on the bottom engine only picture. (Think Pre-unit and monobloc construction...)

Wanna see some more Vincents?
How about these?


These two are getting gold leaf redone on their tanks.






The red one is the "daily driver."


Newest completion...anyone know what this is?
