THE MOST MISUNDERSTOOD MACHINE. Suzuki shocked the motorcycle world in the seventies with the RE5. A machine built around a Wankel rotary engine at a time when motorcycle manufacturers were evolving at lightning speed. The idea was revolutionary. Instead of pistons hammering up and down, a single rotor spun smoothly inside an oval shaped housing, giving the RE5 its signature vibration free feel and a power delivery unlike anything else on the road. Suzuki partnered with NSU to perfect the design
