Hi Derek, The ROC went there a few years ago during a Wankel Treffen; a wonderful collection by a very well heeled German, but the fine patina of dust spotted on some of the exhibits, suggest that many don't turn a wheel from one end of the year to the next. Given that the bikes were (are?) up on an elevated galllery, it would be a pain to get them out.

Damn! :evil: ... One day i will find out something about rotaries that you dont already know... one day... well, maybe not :lol: What are the other two rotary bikes they have? you cant see them in the photo, let me guess, DKW & RE5 ??\ found the museum while looking for info on the Merc C111, what a rare beast to have on display.

Yep, a W2000 & a RE5; I seem to recall their only Norton was an IP2 (no Commander, F1 or Classic) and if memory serves, it had a 2xxx frame number which I guess means it was a prototype?
