well here's a lil bit of info.

its either on par or cheaper than rotax if you want to be competitive.

tyres, at club level a set will do you two meetings.

engine rebuild every 10 hours, piston every 2-3 hours and then keep an eye on the reeds. so the engine is the expensive bit BUT unlike rotax their all much of a muchness, ie: 1 k9c will be pretty much the same and the next k9c unlike rotax.

they do like a drink when it comes to fuel;)

tracks: rissy, sheni, kimbolton, fulbeck, forest edge, camberley, larkhall, rowrah? three sisters? plus theres probs more but their all i can think of off of the top of my head.

you won't be needing new bodywork all the time as in other classes as theres much less contact (he says:P) when you get new pads you need them for the front as well so that adds to the cost but other than that its your normal chassis. chains last forever as you can't grind them on curbs. you wont be needing a new chassis all the time either as hardly anyone in 125 is spending BIG money. no one is having a new chassis every three meetings and wonder engines for Ł25,000.

so yea, i rekon its worth it and you shud defo give it a try:)
