After i realized the renesis is a 1300 cc motor i started thinking. An engine swap into a Kawasaki or Ducati Body we could have the first Mazda Rotary Motorcycle.

Dude that would be so sweet. I been saying that from day one. gas mileage would e great the bike would be fast. How fast I don't know but it'd e fast. If it's 14.5s at sea level then subtract 2500 lbs from it and wow.

The voices in my head helped this thought along. Its refreshing to say they've gotten off the 454 Big block in a Geo Metro kick. I actually think this could work. I deff dont have the mechanical knowledge for it tho. Anybody thats a real hard core gear head that can weigh in on this idea?

SOrry, but I have to question the 250Hp....It's not a peripheral port. Still a cool ride. I like the comment on how loud it is, but I imagine the temp coming off those pipes is more of a concern for the rider than the noise. I have heard mine uncapped and it is indeed obnoxious to say the least.
