I have several Saitos (including a 150), all mounted inverted, and all run perfectly. Once run-in and set up they just go on working as they should without the need to continually re-adjust anything. The quality, reliability and performance is oustanding in my opinion. Just look at the huge range of 4 stroke engines Saito produce, much more than any other manufacturer. They clearly have the experience, and the ability, to produce small and large capacity engines in both single and multi cylinder format. Other manufacturers' engines may be good too, but I agree with Mudflap, personally I wouldn't currently buy a F/Stroke other than a Saito. That said, I do own an OS Gemini 160 F/S twin which is an excellent engine, and an OS10FP. So I'm not completely biased!
