Is it really that bad compare to normal bikes' engine? Malaysia petrol isn't cheap enough? Or we need a bigger fuel tank if......?

there aren't many rotary engine around now.. mostly in older cars.. spare parts also very hard to find.. guess if have also few will want to get it.. the fuel consumption is also higher..

the new RX-8 is driven by a twin-rotary engine.Originally posted by eric_jugonz:there aren't many rotary engine around now.. mostly in older cars.. spare parts also very hard to find.. guess if have also few will want to get it.. the fuel consumption is also higher.. -
is that? i didn't know it.. i read about this car quite some time ago.. think maybe i missed it or forgot.. haha.. but sg road still never see this car before lehz.. i personally have a liking in rotary engine.. corz a rotary engine brings more power compared to normal engine of the same capacity.. less vibration also.. the old RX-7.. good.. haha..Originally posted by JLennon:the new RX-8 is driven by a twin-rotary engine.

In the movie X-men 2, Wolverine drove away in a blue car. That is the new Rx-8. I think Rx-7 is only around 1300cc....... yet delivers so much horse power. Since sg classifies by cc, by using a rotary engine will give us more horsepower with a smaller cc? Class 2b ppl will happier.....

Not exactly, I had a fren used to drive a RX7. The rd tax is higher than normal coz I think its classified under exotic cars. Then the petrol.... my fren pumps about $20 per day of petrol.... is that considered cheap? But the again.. his was a nearly 20 yrs car... anytime 160km/h no problem.Originally posted by jacobs:In the movie X-men 2, Wolverine drove away in a blue car. That is the new Rx-8.

My friend bought a "what bike" magazine. In it, there was this maker call sachs and they have produce a bike with rotary engine before. But it was a flop, so naturally didn't make it. Just fyi.

actually rx7 is only 680cc.
but the road tax is quite expensive, coz it's a 20 year old car. after the 1st 10 years, the road tax goes up by 10% every year, remember?
the new rx8 is buei gan. power cannot compare to the rx7, probably becoz of new emissions law in japan bah. rx8 hp restricted to i think 180 or 230bhp, forgot liaoz. rx7 is 280bhp. -
