My impression is that the 2.66 litre 4-cylinder one is _way_ too big
(150bhp). The 1.33 litre 2-cylinder (v-twin) one is probably just not quite
big enough, at 70bhp, although probably physically smaller & lighter at 121
lb including starter, alternator, filters, etc (sorry, haven't got Rotax
weights handy).
Not heard any definite pricing, but I believe they will be up around the
level of other certificated engines, so probably not a cheap option on
capital outlay. Running costs should be low, though ....
Flyer Magazine (UK) did a bit on the Zoche engines in the July 1995 issue,
and gave as the contact point:
