    Correct, the Suzuki's RE5 was one example of the very few Wankel engine motorcycles that were produced. One of the other MC makers that used the rotary engine was DKW along with Norton Motorcycle Company's Norton Interpol 2, Norton Classic, Norton Commander.

    The guy who invented the first wheel was an idiot -
    the guy who invented the second one... he was the genius!

    Well Audi did buy Ducati http://news.discovery.com/autos/driv...audi-today.htm and there has been some concept spy stuff on the web of a Audi V4-powered 10R Supersport.


    Now if ya want to know about the old motorcycle build by Audi you have to know where Audi comes from.
    "Today's AUDI AG looks back at a history that spans more than 100 years of automobile construction. An exciting voyage through time that started in the late 19th century. The Saxon brands of Audi and Horch from Zwickau, Wanderer from Chemnitz and DKW from Zschopau played a decisive role in motor vehicle development in Germany. These four brands amalgamated in 1932 to form Auto Union AG – with the sign of the four rings."

    The bike was called the "Wanderer" to see some cool pic from the 1902 "Wanderer", to the 1923 Lomos Sesselrad "DKW" to the 1952 NSU Prima D motor scooter and all their other motorcycles, which became Audi in 1932 http://www.audi.com/corporate/en/com...ry/models.html
