Suzuki RE5 Rotary Engine Sound 

It's not "uneven" get a fuckin clue

@@RaiderOfTheLost Ok, calm down, he's talking about how it doesn't sound like other engines. A.K.A. a constant firing sound.

@@marksmann1850 He mean the "brab brab brab brab"^^

But the waterbottle was as smooth and overall a better bike. Suzuki shot themselves in the foot having both models at the same time.

@@humandroid53 Yes, but my "kettle" was always trying to kill me...... especially in the wet! Smooth or off...... nothing in between.

@@mr.hitchens really? Hmm. I had a Kawasaki 750 triple and my brother in law a waterbottle. I had to ride his bike home in the wet and dark once. I had many layers of clothing on and the bike felt too big but it was easy enough to ride and seemed safe. I've been riding with one that was giving me a hurry up in the twisties too and I wasn't slow on that H2. Now if you said your H2 wanted to kill you... 😅

Water buffalo. Not water bottle.

@@keithsada1380 Or "Kettle" if you were in the UK

citroën also made a few rotary cars

Visio Racer has done some videos on these subjects

@@krakhedd Thanks for the info Paul, just had a quick nosy, and spotted a CBX cheers bud 😁 stew

@SpiritOfOutrage he's definitely a gearhead/petrol head (I'm a Yank, it's gearhead to me) and I enjoy and appreciate that he does it all on his own

Even Mercedes got one with a rotory engine The C111

FYI, they are slow, heavy, have bad brakes and suspension and are unreliable. Unless you are putting it in a museum avoid at all cost.

They make better bikes, that's the difference... Now if they took half of the 13b engine, you'd have a 650cc modern rotary putting the same 120HP as modern 600cc 4cyl piston bikes, so I'd think that would be really fun, but the old rotary engines like that one (air cooled or with small radiator is going to be insane low performance limitation just to keep them from melting), they probably aren't very good options. You could do modern one, but I'm not sure people would like the horrible fuel economy (I burned a quarter tank of fuel driving about 40 miles to work in my car.... That's more than normal but not by a crazy amount!), they also don't like starting when they are hot, or when they are cold, and even with fuel injection many people have issues with them flooding. They must also be driven like a madman every drive so they burn out the carbon on the cold side (which is probably fine if you consider it just like a 600cc sport bike, you're going to be doing wheelies or redlining them for fun pretty much every time you drive anyways) There are also really cool bikes now, like stock supercharged bikes, there's even a turboshaft driven bike I believe, there's bikes that run multi-fuel, there are people that put jet engines onto bikes (I thought about doing that, very easy and relatively low'ish cost, I mean its not cheap but its just for laughs and fun). There are bikes with exotic manufacturing techniques since even 20 years ago (like hydroformed magnesium frames to be light weight), now we also have carbon fiber, adjustable suspension on the fly, all sorts of cool stuff. Just like that bike was rare even then, we have cool rare stuff today.

Kerker never made a pipe for that bike.😆😆

Modern rotarys dont idle like this, unless you port them heavily. This suzuki porbably has big ports from the factory.

@@waynepantry7023 rotarys engines don’t idle like that normally they need to modified to do that

This was a big port engine, the lope was normal, somewhat.

That would be fun, how hard was it to engine swap that? I like the 13b in my RX-8 and wouldn't swap it, but they are cool engines and if its not very difficult to throw in small vehicles like a Fiat, well that could make a fun car too!

Sound like a 2 cylinder

Sounds more like a rotary I think

@@Endidixknsej you are correct and the rotary sounds come from 3 combustions per cycle, we are compering the rotary sound with standerd multi cylinder engine.....

@@raghavjoshi3146 ik it was a joke

I believe it's an air intake to cool the pipes while going down the road. They get very hot apparently.

@@brockcroy805 interesting

Other comment is correct, air intake around the heat shield, pipes run much hotter than std combustion

Its going to be horrifically under powered, not like today's rotary engines. I would suggest doing a 650cc if you're a good machinist, use 1 rotor from the 13b engine and that would be perfect for a bike (nothing crazy at only 120 HP, so like a normal modern 600cc, but 1 rotor instead of 4 pistons).

@@jakegarrett8109 lol, NO. Stock engine was 62 bhp and it's enough to have a good motorcycle.

@@cranky1812 Ok, so that's not BAD per se, but its not spectacular either. Its about 67% the power per engine size of my car, so its lacking quite a bit, but you're right, I guess horrifically under powered is an over-statement. It shouldn't be struggling to hit 55 mph like it was probably designed to cruise at on highways or even the 75 mph now. It would be totally fine for most people. Its just not amazing which is what I think of when talking about rotary engines (I think high revved, fire spitting engines with excellent power to weight ratio though poor fuel economy and horrible emissions, kind of like a 2 stroke in a lot of ways). I'm just in the mindset of even sub $2k cheap 20 year bikes with double the power and significantly lighter (sure its not "heavy" like a crazy custom V8 motorcycle, but its still got a dry weight of over a quarter ton!). But if you're not thinking sport bike and thinking more cruiser style or Harleys, ok then its probably very comparable in terms of top end performance. Then yeah like you said slap on some disk brakes, modern suspension (I would still recommend fuel injection as a high priority), and then some old guy wanting a novel engine on his cruiser is going to fall in love with it assuming its moderately reliable (which compared to a Harley it probably is 5 star).

@@jakegarrett8109 the weight issue in the original motorcycle is the frame and other components, rotary engines are simple and light. Modern chassis and suspension will reduce a lot of weight and at the same time with better geometry it will handle better. It can be good supermoto.

@@cranky1812 I think it will be much improved by those, but that old rotor style is lacking compared to the newer 13b design, hence I recommend updating it with one of the 13b rotors. I would opt for more power to weight for supermoto since I think you want high performance on those typically. Cruisers though you can get away with a potato bobbing up and down to putter down the road well enough, but if you're talking high performance engines then if it used 13b rotors it would be better. I personally want to buy a CNC or laser printer that can do Titanium/aluminum/SS and make my own miniature rotary engines (they sell for stupid amounts, about $700 for a 5cc Wankel). With the laser 3d printer I think I can get the rotor weight to such insane low mass it would perform much better and handle some insane rotational speed (I would probably even try to replace the rotors in my car with the new design). So I love rotary engines, but I would opt for building based on the newer generations than that older one (they've updated some aspect ratios for better performance and efficiency as one example of why the 13b makes more performance per size, that and they have a second intake that opens around 6.5k rpm kind of like Vtech, you definitely feel that it jumps in torque and power there!)

They sound the same haha.
