Suzuki RE-5

The Suzuki RE-5 is different from other motorcycles from the 1970s since it has a rotary engine. Suzuki's RE-5, which came out in 1974, was an ambitious attempt to change the way motorcycles were built with its 497cc rotary powerplant. Compared to standard piston engines, this bike had less vibration, which made for a smooth and unusual ride. The RE-5's elegant exterior and unique cylindrical instrument cluster made it stand out from other cars of its time. The RE-5 had problems in the market because it was complicated and needed a lot of care, even though it was well-engineered. Still, it's an interesting part of motorcycle history that shows Suzuki's willingness to try new things and the technological goals of the 1970s.
