Cool. A bike from a dreamer. Price seems reasonable for what it is. 285 lbs dry, 220 hp rotary, 116k USD. Only 25 will be made.

Crighton Reveals New MotoGP Like CR700W, Rotaries Are Back!

How many years does it take for a dream to become reality? Well, I guess the answer depends on how big that dream is. My father always tells me that it's important to keep making small steps towards your dream. And if that dream is something of epic proportions, perhaps you'll have to devote...

I thought the same thing but I suspect that it wasn't really being pushed for those shots. Pictured below is a WizNorton race bike - I'm absolutely no expert on these things, I'm sure someone here knows more about it than what I read just now, but they both seem to be divergent developments of the Norton RCW588. I think it would be reasonable to assume that it would sound something vaguely like this:

 
Here's a general compilation of Norton RCW588-ish bike - earlier version of the CR700 included
