A 2-stroke H2 engine, on the other hand, is cheaper to rebuild than to buy one ready to run, so as primitive as it is, it's not disposable.

I hear you. But a used engine is a 50/50 proposition. You could spend a fair amount of time and money swapping engines and after 1,000s mile do it all over again. Since my Ninja is a keeper and probably my last bike I'd rebuild knowing it was done correctly.
