Ah, Bod, someone new, but in complete anonymity. Care to tell us what you drive / where you race? Give us a clue.

Anyway, if you are saying get a Rotax because you can race anywhere, anytime, then I�d say you�re quite right. It�s a blatantly obvious fact.

But some just don�t want the runaway market leader, no matter what the arguments in its favour are.

As for running hours before rebuild, some in the trade might say a lot of things to shift their product / stock. I choose not to repeat those nice, big, round numbers � not when talking about the Aixro either � because they are just that: too convenient and too attractive. I doubt that real world statistics on this exist.
Only with the Biland do we have any idea that it can indeed go a long time, but only if that bl**dy belt doesn�t snap on you � as it has done for many people.
As you suggest yourself, the same goes for any rebuild cost: how long is a piece of string? One thing�s for sure, it�ll be rather longer than short.

Finally, is there really that much more opportunity now to race those 250s? Besides, a handful of races are fine by me: I don�t have the time for more, and it keeps the spending under control / at a hobby level. In the meantime, I have the pleasure of the best darn kart engine money can buy � by far. Unlike the others mentioned here, it has a USP.
