As the title suggests, good time to start recorded what records and current times are out there.
The last rotary powered bike here in UK and possible the only ever in Europe also was a NSU RO80 powered bike called Concord. It was a 400bhp engine using Methanol with 25% Nitro-methane and NOS all pushed through a 3.5 litre wade super-charger. In 1982 its best run was 8.2 sec @ 164mph and as no other rotary bike has ever been built its still stands today as the quickest time for a rotary bike.
This is the only information I have for Rick Woods.
Rick Woods Supercharged 12A rotary
Best ET.9.11 @ 153mph.
And now Ricks new Rotary Motorbike.
A purpose built 13b supercharged rotary motorcycle. its best run so far is 8.71 at a 156mph.
