Bike was completely disassembled every part cleaned and examined before painting and restoration. This bike was refurbished and rebuilt for a great experience on the road. Imported in this country by the Berliner motor corporation in the 50's and early 60's this great little bike made a great name for itself during that period.
Under no circumstances will the bike leave before it is paid for. Personal checks are OK, but this will delay pickup/shipment. Payment must be received within 7 days of auction end, and the bike must be picked up/shipped within 1 month of auction end. Overseas sales are fine, but I cannot help with any shipping estimates.

There is a matching serial number title in my name that goes with this bike, so title transfer or export is no problem. With a thorough detailing and selective upgrading of a few chrome & rubber parts, you'd have a machine that would rival many of those other more expensive machines. In the last few years I've seen some of these bikes sell for $10k-17k, but here today you can purchase this machine for a lot less. This is not a Xerox copy, this is a period factory manual.

The one extra item that is included with this machine is a factory Parts Manual & Service Manual, in the original blue ring binder. I understand that that move is now complete, and that parts orders are flowing once again. I contacted them at one point to pick up a few replacement rubber parts, but they were moving their facility to a new State and orders were on hold, so I never did get any new parts for it. Here in the USA there is an excellent source for spare parts for these at Rotary Recycle. It has been off the road for over 20 years, and in a private collection for the last 10 years. The bike turns over and has good compression, and shifts through the gears. This bike has only 1,683 original miles on the clock, and it still features the original tires & tool kit. Only 199 of these direct injection bikes were built before production of the W2000 ended in 1976. This bike is unique in that it is not a premix bike like the earlier production Hercules wankels - where you add oil to the gas tank like and old-fashion two-stroke - it is an oil injection machine. Just over 1,700 of these rotary bikes were built, and this is a low mileage machine from the end of the production run. Offered for auction is this extremely rare 1976 Hercules W-2000 Rotary motorcycle, finished in Danube Blue.
