German engine builder Rotax dates back to the 1930s, but it is best
known today for supplying extremely competitive motors to Aprilia.
Rotax took an interest in racing in the late-1960s, with a
successful 125-cc single, and then a liquid-cooled 500-cc twin
developed from the Bombardier snowmobile engine. In the 1980s, the
company represented a real threat to Japanese domination in the
250-cc class, offering a liquid-cooled, inline, two-stroke
twin.
The handsome bike on offer dates from 1983, with a frame built by
respected race bike builders Spondon, based in Derbyshire, England,
since 1969. Rare, light, and very fast with a newer generation
engine, this bike offers a truly unique riding experience.
