hi all,
I agree with Bruce that Hondas are [Censored] HEAVY. I have one, that I fitted a KAZZ shaft to and literally have a piece of 4x2 at the other end of the shaft to balance it.
The other problem I can see with Honda�s is that it seems to produce less hp and lower r.p.m, and there are many more moving parts to go wrong. So if you can live with your self emitting extra green house gasses then I'd go two strokes all the way.
Also eventually when it does fail it will be easier and cheaper for you to fix yourself!
