In Theoretical numbers you are right. The sun that you quoted is an extrapolation of the designed output for the 125. Run that figure on a 250, yz450f, cbr 650…..you will end up with some very strange numbers. If my memory serves, it was either the first gen R1 or the second where they managed, very nearly, a true 1:1. That is 1hp per cubic inch. Engine tech has not moved much since then. In 03 the V&M Yamaha Mann TT bike spent 100,000 hrs on the dyno trying to find more power…..they got 5 by adjusting fuel delivery…….. The only exact numbers in engines is the physical size that you measure right then and there.

Add a turbo. Rotaries have high egt's. Best way to recover that lost thermal energy is to convert it into boost. Then this bike would be nuts.

@Matthew-wn8oq True. Most oems aim for smooth linear power delivery to maintain traction when pushing the limits of the machine. But if they were truly aiming for practical, I think a rotary just from a reliability, emissions and fuel consumption standpoint sort of negate that. I understand the technology has come a long way on the sealing front. But still. They started with a challenging platform. Definitely unique though.

I had to listen several times to be sure he (it?) said that before commenting the same - indeed, torque isn't measured in 'nano meters' but in 'newton meters' or 'lbf feet'.......'nano' means 1 in a billion or 0.000000001. So he basically said it has a huge torque of 142 nano-meters i.e. that it has 0.000000142 meters of torque (when meters is distance). Newton is a metric measure of force and 1 N is equal to 1 kg*m/s2 (T=m*a): kzbin.info/www/bejne/hn-zm3uaqd6Coq8

In order to compare rotary engine displacement to 4-stroke piston engine displacement, you have to double the rotary engine's size. A rotary engine's displacement rating is effectively measured like that of a 2-stroke piston engine. That's why a 2.6L 4-rotor Mazda (12 combustion chambers) could compete directly along side a 6L V12 jaguar (787b vs XJR-15). Therefore a Mazda 1.3L 2-rotor at 9krpm is directly comparable to a 2.6L 4-storke V6 at 9k rpm (or a 2.6L 2-stroke V6 at 4.5krpm). As a 155hp/liter 3-cylinder 1.5L, this engine doesn't seem all that impressive, and definitely nowhere near F1. What IS impressive about rotaries in general, is their power-density. It's incredibly small for it's output. Something motorcycles can clearly benefit from.....if you can make it last.

[@Hobz79]

Thank you for bringing this up, I was hoping someone would mention this, and I'm surprised the narrator didn't.

[@mandrakejake]

This is true but not totally accurate. The 1.3l stated for the Mazda engine is the engine's swept volume, but because a rotary uses all 3 sides of the rotor simultaneously (albeit at different stages of the 4 stroke cycle). This is similar to how a 2 stroke uses both sides of the piston, also making one power stroke per rotation of the eccentric shaft.

The standard method of measuring rotary displacement is unrealistic. Rotaries actually have double the displacement listed, based on time/cycles, which is the only parallel with piston engines. The Mazda Wankel rotaries rated at 1.3L are only measuring one of the rotor faces or combustion chambers. 1 of 3. However, that doesn't even equate to one full stroke. Rotaries fire much slower than piston engines, but have 3 times the "cylinders". 1.3L=2.6L.
