I have received many emails from Rotax about videos relating to the 

912.  When I go to their site, all I get is a preview of the video.  

Maybe I am just cheap but after spending over $16,000 for their engine, 

I don't feel I should have to shell out more money for their videos.  Am 

I off base?

Dan,



It is my understanding that the Rotax-Owner site, from which you are getting the video teasers, is independent from Rotax the engine manufacturer and this is one of the ways they (not Rotax) make money, by charging for membership to watch their videos. 



It would be nice if Rotax made such videos or perhaps the importers to large markets like the US, but they don't to my knowledge, so Rotax-Owner saw an need and opportunity.

Hi Dan,

Thom's right, it is a private company and not Rotax.

You not cheep Dan, your just fed-up like me with Rotax extorting every penny, dollar and hundred dollar bill out of it's customers it can. Rotax may not run or technically own the Rotax-Owners site but you can bet they are making money off it or they would not let there name be used so prominently on it.
