A friendly "Hello" to everone :-) Am a "Newbie" + unfortunately I do not have a Suzuki RE-5, sorry. What I do have, are some PDFs related to the RE-5. Why PDF ? Files are easy to handle + you can read them offline, w/o losing the links to the images / figures. + it's a file format, that should still be accessible in the far-off future ... My "plan" is, to "publish" a few docs once a week ... Well, here are the first six "docs" ;-) 18594 » a few black-white photographs - good quality (Getty) 15939 » RE-5 offered in 2020/2021 with kickstarter # 12784 red just some nice pictures ;-) 15409 » + a blue one # 12086 with straight kickstarter (Bonhams 2008) 18928 » What makes them tick ? - Inside Suzuki's Rotary ... article by Walt Fulton in Cycleworld magazine 1975 If you have a better version: would like to get it ;-) 21264 » Wankel: And yet spins - part 1 (including the Suzuki) motorkari.cz 2012 English translation by "the browser" ;-) 21912 » offered in 2021 (?): a 1:25 scale kit of the "Suzuki RX-5" File numbers do Not point to anything. I use them for organization only ;-) Hope, the mix is o.k. (?) If you copy the link below, you can get direct access to the directory. Downloads should work ;-) onedrive.live.com/?authkey=%21AAbyDN2o4Hpd9Bw&id=A1147A7A2EC08E56%21103&cid=A1147A7A2EC08E56In case, you have questions or want to swear at me, 'cause I'm wasting your time ;-), here's my mail address: f.herfert@gmx.de Best regards Frank |

Welcome Frank and thank you for your trouble.
For the Board members, Frank and I have exchanged a few emails with regard to his collection of RE5 and Rotary related articles. They are legit and the link works.
Some interesting stuff in there, happy reading!

Thanks Frank.
I do wonder where the author of the very short article gets his production numbers from. If nothing else, frame numbers start at 10,000 and end around 16,200. For his numbers to be even close to correct, it would mean 1000 numbers missing during production.
Nevertheless, all good for the mix and I enjoyed Mercedes' article on his barn find RE5.

Thanks again Frank. If you haven't already, take the time to look at Frank's many articles (and videos). There's some interesting stuff in there. His most recent addition to the collection contains this extremely brief overview of the RE5. While it's a very light brush, my hat off to the author as he/she makes a couple of good points I feel are missed in much larger reviews. But what caught my attention were the side covers. Look at that grill. There's no indication in the article re the history of this particular bike. I've heard that two of the major differences in the styling of the RE10(?) twin rotor was a ~25 litre tank and grills in the sidecover from where the filter box sucked air. This one obviously doesn't but, interesting (and no, it's not the Hamamatsu museum display bike).     Just noticed the number plate. Did some light sleuthing. We had a member going by username AP951. Helluva coincidence? Is this one of yours Bill or were you inspired by it? (Bill, who made some excellent contributions (fixed your leaking petcock forever? Thank Bill) sold his Firemist Orange M some time ago and left us but there must be some connection). |
