a sweet looking block that should be lighter as well by the look of it,
& it's all compatible with the older motors

what more could they do & keep it affordable for us busted ass racers to have a competitive motor that'll match the best of them for a good price,
i say well done to the GO factory & hurry up with production so we can put the doubters to rest till the next generation comes out, as if

What is it with some of the people on here
No one has actually held one of these motors in their hand and had a good look at it yet, but it's already being written off as a non event in some corners. Unbelievable.
Like you Magpie, I reckon for the price these motors will sell at, they will be exceptional value for money. Sure we could have had a few the other things that we are supposedly going to "miss out on" - like a new G clip !! Whoa, I'm sure that would have ramped up the performance markedly.
I bet if we had all these extra's and the price went up a few dollars, then some people would be saying it was too expensive - give me a break.
I'm sure there is a lot more going on behind the scenes than most of us will ever know about, so lets just be happy with a new motor that is a step up from what we have had in the past. I personally can't wait to get hold of one and run it in. Life's simple pleasures

I like Go and am sure these new engines will be great. As long as they're not on the list of top-10 or whatever at the big races the hype factor just won't be there. But the performance and price will be, so bleh... And if the performance of these new engines is really better than the previous generation without jacking the price up too much, then well done Go!!

If this is the case and they just get the engines currently available, will I be able to get parts for them next year when they need small things?

Thanks in advance

With the exception of heat sinks, I have a complete inventory of GX parts.

Oops, I lied, I don't stock 3R piston/sleeve assys.

Thanks Ruune

Yes, you will be able to get parts.

Robert, please do us all a favor and stop capitalizing the words you're trying to emphasize. It makes you appear condescending. People are smart- we'll all figure out what words are important. Thanks.
