Looks nice; but you can't actually get parts from them.

Yeah, maybe the least represented engine in america.

The new LKE engine is being built with Tec Sav as a partnership, thats kind of interesting.

That is the old side by side superkart, still selling. The new homologation will be an inline engine. Hopefully the homologation sheets will be revealed January.

Its not gonna be like hitting up the local GM dealer for something for your 3800 or whatever but its rarely as bad as people make out. Most of the moving parts in KZ motors are highly interchangeable.

54mm piston
Seals
110mm or 108mm Conrod (110 in this one)
Top, bottom and main bearings prettymuch the same across the board.
Clutch plates are pretty common.

Transmission parts might be a bit tricky but I've yet to come across anyone who has actually damaged any in a KZ. I'm not suggesting it has never happened, i'm sure it has but it's not common.
