Nice. I have no experience with those. How do the motors hold up?

Just remember to check the oil regularly. They eat about a quart every 3 thousand miles.

If you don't take care of it, you'll be replacing the engine every 40k miles or less. Otherwise they aren't too bad.

It can actually be as much as 1qt every 1,000 miles, though 2-3k is closer to average. The rotary injects a small amount of oil into the combustion chamber to lubricate the apex seals. So burning oil is inevitable. If I keep the rotary though then I'll be installing a Sohn adaptor, which uses a separate reservoir to inject clean 2-stroke oil. So engine oil consumption will go way down, and 2-stroke oil is meant to burn away, so its a win-win.
