I thought it was 17,500. And considering the fact that they usually have a fuel cut 500 above that it would be 18,000. Just think where the rotary would be if there was more development money spent on it. If they can make a piston engine turn 22k in testing on F1 engines then 30k should be completely within the realm of possibility. All it takes is money, by the cubic foot.

wow im suprised this hasent turned ugly most of the time people say the hate rotary and the only excuse they have is its not reliable..most rotarys fail cause of the heat they produce so in order to get the most out of a rotary is to keep it cool.

i love rotaries, but i had to sell it due to the fact it was leaking oil like a bitch and i didn't have the time or money or local place to work on it. luckily it went to a good home (darkducati) and its still annoying neighbors and shooting flames :twisted:

i heart 13b with only 3" dp. soooooo loud, its like driving a 3000lb weedwacker with 200ish hp.
