It's got nothing to do with numbers. Although the overall karting market is relatively very small, in percentage terms the karting variants of the engines used QHQ4 & QHG4 are produced and imported in larger volumes than many other variants. Because there are over 40 european variants of the GX160UT1 alone.

If you wanted to manufacture a GX160 engined spacehopper, Honda would produce a special engine for you. But they would not remove the governer because effectively this takes the engine beyond its design limitations and would cause huge warranty problems.
