you can get a used rotax for 1500 and you wont have to rebuild it for about three years unless you really screw up. lepords are a waste they break too. rotax is the way to go trust me ive been drivin for 12 years and have driven every type of motor you can think of and the rotax is the best!!!!

a Vortex is a way better TAG motor than the rotax or the parilla...the down side is that they are very expensive

Kt 100 is a good package as is the Rotax. I have both + a DD2 in the past and a current mod moto. I'm a local to CMP & If budget is not an issue, and you will frequent CMP , maybe a Jr Max would be a good fit as CMP are a Rotax dealer. If budget is an issue, the KT is the way to go. Some may not agree, but the KT's I've had {off and on since the 80's} are pretty bulletproof.
If you think you may go the KT route, I have a friend in Charlotte that has several KT packages. {also has a Sr Rotax}. PM me if interested.
Good luck

I would start out in a kt 100, somethin a little bit slower and foucus o your driving. then when you get you driving down slowly move up through the classes.. Cool
