Only an earlier Rotary, [[Suzuki RE5|Suzuki's calamitous RE5]] or Hercules' own, but rather wimpish Wankel, can prepare you for a ride on the Norton Rotary. While its controls are virtually the same as those of any conventionally-engined bike, the manner in which it responds to them is most certainly not. From cold, the big (and ugly) 38mm SU constant vacuum carbs require a decent wodge of choke, courtesy of the dash-mounted knob, and the engine runs a tad rough until it's had a few minutes to warm up. | |||
