Re: interesting bikes found randomly..

Re: interesting bikes found randomly..
the discussion about the hercules was that the reed valve inlet and odd exhaust positioning was a rotary. I I get that its not like the other one pictured, I would love more info on it. if thE chamber was 90deg putting it inline? and finned without that huge air intake.

The DKW is a rotary like the Norton F1. 'Triangular' piston.

That is a Wankel, and very interesting, I wonder how they've geared the rotor to the clutch.rodbargee wrote: ↑Mon Feb 01, 2021 3:52 pm Here....https://motocrossactionmag.com/bikes-yo ... 02-rotary/
