How The Racing Elite Assassinated The Best Motorcycle Engine Ever Built

The Norton Rotary Engine: How Corporate Power Destroyed Revolutionary Innovation In 1992, Steve Hislop rode a motorcycle with no pistons, no valves, and no conventional engine to victory at the Isle of Man TT, defeating factory Yamaha and humiliating the Japanese racing establishment. The Norton Rotary was smoother, more powerful, and built by one engineer in a garden shed. Within two years, it was banned forever. This is the untold story of how the racing elite assassinated the best motorcycle engine ever built, not because it was dangerous, but because it worked too well and threatened billions in corporate investment. Discover how David Garside solved the rotary's fatal cooling flaw. How Brian Crighton extracted 170 mph from a salvaged police bike engine. How Steve Hislop's legendary TT victory became the death warrant for revolutionary technology. And how Japanese manufacturers weaponized safety regulations to protect their outdated piston engine monopoly. The rotary engine proved that breakthrough innovation doesn't require massive budgets, it requires obsession and brilliance. But it also revealed an uncomfortable truth: in modern motorsport, being superior isn't enough if your success threatens the wrong people.
