That's how good I believe these engines are in terms of durability.and I run at 120celcius
+1 NR is my engine brand of choice hands down. They have had a few rough patches over the years but generally I love them. Picco's etc are nice but end up bolting on NR carbs etc to get them to go properly! NR's are generally good out the box
I think the new Live range will be the new 'Clubmans' spec engines. I reckon they'll be pretty quick engines at a relatively affordable price range. I doubt they will be that low on specs - probably the same as the current line but with plastic carbs, steel bearings, no filling/tuned cranks etc.
