This is a 1976 Hercules W2000 Rotary powered motorcycle in excellent condition with very low miles (1,236) It is an extremely rare motorcycle and very few 1976 W2000s were imported into the United States.
This 1976 model has the oil injection system so you don ât have to premix the oil with gasoline like on the 1974 and 1975 models. This
is one of a very few that is running and may be the only 1976 W2000 that is in excellent condition and can be driven on a daily basis. The bike has new tires, battery, and transmission oil. All functions on the bike work well. The bike looks new, the chrome shines brightly, and the seat is soft with no tears.
The Hercules Company was founded in 1886 and began producing motorcycles in 1904. Following World War II, Hercules concentrated on smaller two-strokes with engines from Sachs. The firm began to build up a large range of bikes during the 1950s, notable among them its first twin-cylinder model, the 318. The 318 was billed at being a luxury tourer, and produced a whooping 12-bhp. Hercules
became one of the largest motorcycle companies in Germany that ultimately ended production in 1992. In 1974, Hercules became the first company to offer a rotary Wankel-engined motorcycle (W2000) for sale to the general public.
The Hercules W2000 had a single-rotor air-cooled engine of 294cc that produced 32-hp. Cooling was by a large fan placed in front of the engine and the slipstream breeze while riding. It had 18-inch wheels, a front disc brake and rear drum brake. The W2000s were only built from October 1974 to November 1975. In the early production models, engine lubrication was achieved by manually adding oil to the fuel in the tank. In late 1975, Hercules launched the W2000 oil
injection system in which engine lubrication was from a separate oil tank via a pump which made the motorcycle more convenient to operate.
In total, 1,784 W2000 motorcycles were built and only 199 had the oil injection system. Hercules W2000s are as rare as unicorn horns and very few exist in the United States.
