etec vs 4 stroke

[stanley]

I know what you mean about service. I was fortunate to get a six year warranty with the purchase of the new Suzuki...probably would have thought twice about it if it did not come with the extended service plan.
Ultimately I think as good as the etec is that in three/five years a four stroke will bring more resale/tradein value than a two stroke engine. Try to find a used 4 stroke today and if it a late model and in decent shape it will bring crazy dollars.
