Only one internal combustion design from the 20th century has gone into production: the Wankel Rotary. Yet every motorcycle manufacturer who tries it goes bankrupt. What’s the curse?

My wife divorced me because she said I watch too much fortnine. I am now alone and happier than ever and can watch as much F9 as my heart desires

I live in the town where Felix Wankel had his workshop and lived while engineering the rotary engine. My mother knew him. Had a small dog apparently. He also developed a boat which could dive under waves. That's why his workshop is a few feet away from lake constance. The facility is owned by Audi today.

This guy is truly a great presenter. Not sure if he’s the writer as well but both writing and presentation are extremely entertaining.

These videos are some of the best on this platform. I'm not even a motorcycle guy and I can't get enough of these videos. They're amazingly well done. Keep up the great work!!

You're not a reviewer, you're a story teller, and that's amazing!

I used to ride its nemesis, the Suzuki RE5 Wankel in the late seventies. Enjoyed your presentation so much I'd forgotten how first class you are your craft. Informative and entertaining, most others on YT don't get anywhere close.

Rumour has it that Mazda has never actually stopped developing their rotary in their secret labs deep down underground. As a former RX8 owner, I sold before seal failure, I love the rotary and would love to have another….

You forgot the Henry Ford quote " The answer to the question no-one ever asked ! " i`m a Brit-expat living just down the road from the old NSU Werk who knows quite a few Ro80 owners, who would probably find this video a bitter pill to swallow. Am enjoying your work , well done. Nick

This video is so well put together, it‘s a piece of art and a pleasure to watch. Also gives me a hometown vibe, counting 16 years in Austria and being from North Vancouver. Thanks for the awesome content!

Can we all agree that Ryan from Fortnine is a freaking living legend in the motorcycle community.

My parents were a Hercules dealer in the late 70's. Couldn't sell any of the 3 bikes initially sold to them by the company. So, the oil injector model(yes there was one you didn't have to pre-mix for) went to a business partner/investor. The 2 pre-mixers, dad road raced. One was a sprint race bike, the other the endurance bike. Never won anything, but never finished last. He ran them until about 1983.
