Just looked up some past posts on the subject and it is pretty inspiring. I'm starting to think a 200S with an electric start and reverse may be in my future.

This is the air cooled engine I posted above. Electric start, reverse and the power to push 70mph. I once spent virtually an entire day on the highway at around 7000 rpm only stopping to fill the tank up and it didn't blink an eye. I can't remember how many times i revved it to high rpm, dropped the clutch and laid 20ft black marks with it. I put over 2000 miles on it. Never gave me any mechanical trouble at all.

I would just put it together and see how the engine runs myself. It could be a mess or it could run up good.
