BMW had a similar design with the 1934 R7 prototype. It’s a little more subdued, but also used an overhead valve engine. There was only one of these built. It was crated and found many years later. The photo below depicts the restored original...

This Henderson appeared in our local art museum as part of an art deco auto exhibit. It is amazing and it was all created in steel!

And then there was the  Killinger&Freund, which was an attempt to build a more streamlined version of the Megola, but WW2 put a premature end to the project,- they say.  🔧

I vaguely remember seeing a Hercules rotary motorcyle at our Science & Tech museum, but I wasn't that curious about motorcycles at the time. The museum has recently reopened after two years of renovation and expansion, so I'm hoping to see a large display of motorcycles the next time I visit. Many of the items in their collection have been in deep storage for decades.
