Not much for the vintage 'standard' style designs, RD's, CB's, KZ's, and GT's and all that. More a vintage race bike type myself.

I would fancy a go on this:

"The Water Buffalo" right? I bet that is a handful to ride. Along the same lines as the Kawi two smokes, H2 I think?

Sorry for the Norton threadjack, I just posted it as it was also a rotary.

I very nearly bought one of those that was sitting in Wheels International's original showrooms near here many many years ago, he only wanted 500 quid for it. I was going to trade my GT750 in for it but I bought an RD400 from Cosmopolitans in London instead.
