Make sure you understand the differences between the three engines (ie. Comer, WTP and Honda).

Comer and WTP are sealed so to keep them legal you cannot break the seal to get inside the engine to replace rings, piston etc and you will need to get them rebuilt by an authorised rebuilder. As they are 2 stroke the rings can get gummed up and they will need to be de-coked. Also the carbs need to be maintained to keep them running

Honda is unsealed so you could do engine work yourself. Having said that they are so reliable that in afull year of running all you will need to do with a Honda is change the oil (every couple of hours or so) and put petrol in it !!
