it seems like a lot of money for it.
I didn't know about them so I looked them up online. 18-30k seems... pricy for what it is. I would rather have a mustang.

I don't see why there would be a problem with longevity. Rotax knows how to make a 4 stroke bike engine. I believe even Harley controlled Buell was looking to source Rotax engines for their planned next big thing before the plug got pulled on the company.

I mainly ride a motorcycle because I can't ride a snowmachine in the summer. I agree with an earlier poster, they do seem slightly more like a sled. It might be a slightly closer way for me to get a fix, but still seems more like a solution seeking a problem.

Reasons like those are why I think it's BS you can get a motorcycle license using one.

This is my concern also. My father owns a Bombardier/Rotax product. Cusses and spits whenever referring to it.
