I definitely don�t think you�re the thick one: That�s me because I waffled and clearly didn�t get my point across.
On the weight: I don�t know what a KF engine plus all its bits weighs, nor do I know that about Aixro, so I couldn�t tell you how that compares. But what�s a couple of kilos here or there?
On the speed: Again, speed is not the Aixro�s USP! But we are told it�s faster than a KF, and there�s plenty of indication that it�s roughly in KZ territory (same driver, combined weight, tyres etc.), depending on the track.
I thought my point about top-down / bottom-up was a good and valid one: you clearly don�t agree.
So:
To me 2-stroke engines are inherently crude, rough, fickle and comparatively short-lived; they shriek and they stink (badly sometimes). Yet we have one of those � Rotax MAX � that dominates the market. Then the CIK decides that this basic concept should be repackaged yet again, even though there�s little chance of beating BRP at its own game.
The Aixro is the opposite of the above: silky smooth and utterly dependable. That to me makes it fresh and the �new� KF engines silly and pointless by comparison.

I presume you strongly disagree and prefer KF. Fine and good luck to you; enjoy whatever you drive and race.

However, I ask again: Have you ever met anyone who desires a KF engine above all else just on its own merits, i.e. not because it�s the designated product for top-level competition? (I presume you have one for the latter reason?) I�ve never heard anyone say that, but plenty say it about the Aixro.

Does none of the above make sense to anyone?

Oops, I�ve waffled again and time to get lost�
