No love for the wankel...Only the turbo ones die every 30k

If you treat the wankle right it will run for ever.

So can hondas.

There are many 12as and 13brews running well over 200k with no problems

My street ported 13b went 28,500. Not saying anything bad. I still have one and it is the most amazing motor ever created.

I bet my 13b will last longer at 10,000 rpms than your honda's.

the only good one is the turbo one, and if i wanted to run 10k rpms, with 100 horsepower, i would buy a crotchrocket, :motorbike:
