How rare and difficult are these to find here in the states? It would be a nice toy to cruise on and enjoy if the price wasnt ridiculous. Great Pics

Nice find. I'm thinking of getting a rotary bike for myself. Not THIS one, of course.

I have seen a couple, a friend has one and there is one at the San Diego Automotive Museum. Total in the US I dont know how many or what they go for but they are here. I believe Sam at http://www.rotaryrecycle.net sells parts for the Hercules, I would guess mostly used and remanufactured. He is an excellent resource for my Suzuki re5, and I know does much with other rotary bikes.
