While I cannot speak with absolute authority, a volkswagenesque engine
that needs to run at 7300 rpm would not seem like a high hour engine...

Other then having horizontally opposed cylinders, I see little
resemblance to a VW. This is a 2 stroke, and the airbox/exaust
doesn't appear to be in the weight. It's gotta be very very loud, and
I'm guessing a muffler would cut into the power.
