I definitely don’t think you’re the thick one: That’s me because I waffled and clearly didn’t get my point across.
On the weight: I don’t know what a KF engine plus all its bits weighs, nor do I know that about Aixro, so I couldn’t tell you how that compares. But what’s a couple of kilos here or there?
On the speed: Again, speed is not the Aixro’s USP! But we are told it’s faster than a KF, and there’s plenty of indication that it’s roughly in KZ territory (same driver, combined weight, tyres etc.), depending on the track.
I thought my point about top-down / bottom-up was a good and valid one: you clearly don’t agree.
So:
To me 2-stroke engines are inherently crude, rough, fickle and comparatively short-lived; they shriek and they stink (badly sometimes). Yet we have one of those – Rotax MAX – that dominates the market. Then the CIK decides that this basic concept should be repackaged yet again, even though there’s little chance of beating BRP at its own game.
The Aixro is the opposite of the above: silky smooth and utterly dependable. That to me makes it fresh and the “new” KF engines silly and pointless by comparison.

I presume you strongly disagree and prefer KF. Fine and good luck to you; enjoy whatever you drive and race.

However, I ask again: Have you ever met anyone who desires a KF engine above all else just on its own merits, i.e. not because it’s the designated product for top-level competition? (I presume you have one for the latter reason?) I’ve never heard anyone say that, but plenty say it about the Aixro.

Does none of the above make sense to anyone?

Oops, I’ve waffled again and time to get lost…
