Heggie,
As you probably know, i have the Suzy DF140. I struggled with the same decision, as i am sure many others have. But the bottom line is the $1.5 - 2K more and the added weight of (466 - 420) 46 lbs of Yamaha was the factor. But you do need to consider the diff in HP if it is worth it for you. I have been hearding 10% diff off Suzuki and 10% high on Yamaha, so thats 126HP - 165HP = 40HP!! That adds up, is it true?? Maybe i should of had the dealer dyno the two before i picked?? The great trouble free track record of the DF140, 6 year warr, good price, low weight is tough to beat. I used the diff of $$ for new hydraulic steering and now i can pack on 46 lbs without feeling guilty! The other advice is maybe wait. I heard that Suzuki might be coming out this year with a DF150 & DF175 and pumped out of the same block/weight as the DF140 ... that might be stretching this block? This will help guys that want more ponies at the same weight .... i would be tempted but after others run the possible bugs out for a few years. Has anyone else have any details on this or am i talking crap again .... ?? [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img] hope some of this rambling helps [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] ... Nick BTW: i would stick the min HP rule(especially on a 4-stroke) of Max HP x 80%, so 175HP x 80% = 140HP |
