I hope it flies. If Norton came back as a boutique bike for a while, maybe it could eventually regain it's place in the main stream like Triumph has. I like the idea of somebody putting a rotary in a bike, but I'm not sure how many people would actually buy one or how well it could be made to work, relative to a similar displacement piston engine. Rotaries tend to be very thirsty.
