Rotax engines are use in many bikes and ATV's worldwide and parts and support are easy to come by. They were also used in KTM's for a while back in the 90's. They are made in Austria and known for longevity. They are kinda like an XR600 engine in terms of performance and reliability. Which is to say quite good.

The wheels and suspension are high end stuff and also used on KTMs and should be available. The air filter is a K and N. The brakes are Brembo. That stuff is commonly available. I'm sure the chain and sprockets cross refrence to something I can get.

As far as bodywork, fuel tank (3+ gallons, BTW), and seat cover I'm sure that would be harder to find.

The frame and swingarm are unique and handmade and not likely available. As far as bearing go I'm sure the'd cross refrence to something on the shelf.

Blue book is $2,650.
