 Here's a picture of my RE5M.  A Van Veen at a British Bike show in Falmouth.Cornwall.UK in the mid eighties.   And a picture of me parading my T140 combo at the show. Cheers,Shaun. |

Thanks for sharing... Van Veens are very rare indeed... I have personally only seen two.
If that was in the mid eighties... I wonder where it is now?
Best,
Jess
P.S. Nice lookin M too!

Really cool pictures!! Thanks for posting them. I had never heard of a Van Veen. I'd be interested in finding out more about them.

Not much info to be had...
I believe they only made 32.
Others may have more info than I.
Best,
Jess

Not sure if I'm doing this right [not computer trained]but I typed in the following Van Veen Motorcycles Image Gallery in the top address bar,clicked GO then clicked on the same title and a Van Veen workshop came up .Someone rebuilding a Van Veen rotary,several pictures to click on,spare engines etc.Found a thread stating that the rumour was of some being put together with old stock.Hope this works for anyone interested.

Here's a good link to the Van Veen.History of the rotary,the prototype Mazda engine slotted in a Moto Guzzi.Good pictures,also final photo of all the rotaries,RE5, Norton,Hercules etc. I think they may be building a couple of new Van Veens to test the market.German or Dutch but the first part seems to say assembly of wankel motors.Anybody translate? www.cybermotorcycle.com/docs/downloads/vanVeenMotorRijwiel.pdf |
