LOL, you don't have a choice with that bike.

something that the lead mechanic always told me about rotax, he couldn't understand how they stayed in business when everyone that uses their motors ends up going out of business. I've not had personal experience with the motors.

Not really, I could love the 1125, but hate the motor. but I don't.

It could get a bit better mileage, but it's a big bore V-twin. not many get great mileage, especially with an aggressive right hand.

As for them all going out of business, BRP/Ski Doo/Sea Doo seems to be doing well.

You didn't say they were doing well or not. You said that everyone that uses their motor goes out of business.

BRP is not out of business
Buell is not out of business

I have no experience with BRP products personally, but friends that have 'em haven't had issues.
And mine has been good, so I'm happy.

It will be interesting to see how much Deisgn Tech corsses company lines and what makes it to market. The Elefant seems to be aimed right at the
XB12X niche so if it does go into production I wonder if they will bring it stateside? As for the Rotax motor in general they seem great to me
