I'm looking for a laning bike, although you don't see too many MT's now, I'll probably go DR350/DRZ400 or XR400, but still open to other ideas.

That was a while ago. Yes the engine went straight in to the MT350, but it's not as easy to fit an electric start engine to the earlier MT500. As far as I know all the Rotax engines of similar design are interchangeable regardless of capacity. I just had the exhaust, carburettor and connection to the air filter to sort out. It went like stink and would have been ideal for an overland trip with the bigger engine, but I would say a bit heavy for green laning when compared with the likes of a DR350. Very robust though.
