Loved the engines, heaps of power and good run times.
Oh agreed - the price is awesome. What I'm saying though is that with no Australian distributor it would worry me that if something went wrong with the motor I'd have no warranty. I've had bad experiences with companies not wanting to know me when there is no distributor to go thru, they use it as an excuse to run away and not cover the warranty.
Also been burned by listening to people in the USA talking about how they sent it back to ABC Pty Ltd and got a new one the next day..... bit different if anyone overseas tries
Thus I wonder if Axe Rossi's aweome warranty was more the distributor doing the right thing, not the manufacturer
