This bike is no ordinary bike. From the exhaust shaped like a rotor, to the carbon fibre fairing adorning the name of the machine and its creator.

The Crighton CR700W
A 220hp, 142nm, 700cc twin rotor rocketship weighing just 130kg! Built in rural Wiltshire UK and comes with no rider aids.
The price is £95,000 and there is a limited production of just 25 bikes planned!

Watch as it gets taken through it's paces by road racing legend, Guy Martin at the infamous Cadwell Park circuit in Lincolnshire.

  • What a masterpiece, 130kilo and 220hp is amazing and the sound is nothing more then mesmerising and it’s all built in a workshop not a big brands factory . Piece of art
  • @grisslebear
    Every rotary engine EVER was born pissed, & never got over it. What a glorious feat of engineering.
  • @TexRobNC
    I love watching legends work. If you watch the first bit of this, Guy quickly learns the bike does not like being near idle and in gear. Then after he realizes it's best to push it a bit because of that, he realizes you shouldn't be off throttle on this bike in turns, rather you need to hold a throttle after a firm braking period. You can see him figuring this all out in real time.
  • @FYNXGFX
    Just think it needs to be mentioned why this is the successor to the CR700P and that’s because it has a water cooled eccentric shaft, i.e water runs through the centre of the shaft helping aid cooling on the rotor bearings making it way more reliable and helps keep temps down a lot more. No one seems to talk about it though, which is a shame because it could be the difference needed to make these engines a lot more efficient and reliable. This isn’t your standard run of the mill rotary engine it has a lot of R&D in to it. My grandad is a genius and deserves more recognition for what he’s doing! Cool video I like the clips round the track!
  • 😂😂😂 Guy's reaction is priceless. "Foookin Hell boy - that is FAST"
  • @papapetad
    Guy's review is fn hilarious. I'm no bike expert but I reckon these are pretty fast based on his feedback 😂 It makes me happy that there's still plenty of love for the rotary architecture out there.
  • Guy just commented it’s fast! Well then this bike has to be real real fast. Watching Guy learn the bike’s personality was absolutely fascinating. He figures out in 3 laps it wants power thru the turns, hates idle, and just listen to his shifting pattern from lap one to two to three and his operating range from 3 to 4 to 5...fantastic job men. Well done
  • I think the sound speaks for itself, what a sound
  • @johnvilla4973
    When Guy says "they are all mopeds" compared to this bike says it all. Guy is praising it and warning about the power with child like passion as he says ' you have to adapt to that not making it adapt to you'( paraphrased) . One of the legends of the sport is literally laughing as he speaks. My old days of RX7 tinkering come back listening to that beautiful exhaust sound (so much HP on light chassis) ahhhh yeasss!!! Thanks for a great video!!!!
  • @user-tr5td5rg2f
    When he said 700cc and 220hp I was like whaaaaat that's insane
  • It doesn't matter if it's a master chef, painter or whatever. There is something special about watching people that have unbelievable passion and talent doing what they love and sharing it with the world.This bike just screams to get on,twist the throttle and have fun.
  • @deltavee2
    Literally a new level. Guy can turn blinders like no one else so to see him get off the machine so pumped he can hardly talk speaks volumes. And when he points to a parking lot full of superbike and refers to them as "scooters" that tells me what he thinks of it.
  • @lenbong1234
    Best Orchestra I've heard in a Long time!!! Thank you for not putting music over the sound of the bike
  • Guy is on a pure adrenaline rush after that run. To say his H2R feels like a moped compared to this is insane. I wonder if the lack of engine braking is a challenge but it's so light the brakes would have no problem stopping it. This is insane and it's just a 700cc. Mr. Wankel was a genius.
  • That sound is like an old two-stroke and MotoGP combined! Awesome! Love the sound!
  • @SPHYNX99752
    I love the sound! I can tell he was just beginning to get a feel of the wide open power... He changed his shifting rate and rev point after the 2nd and 3rd laps. ❤
