Thanks for the suggestion. I have looked at this puppy very closely. It looks nice, but I am having a hard time going for it, we have no RV. It's bulkier and about 30# heavier and price locally is more expensive than the Honda. Also, we see many more Honda dealers and repair sites than Yamaha which are relatively uncommon out here for some reason. If it used less fuel or was quieter, I might consider it, but that doesn't appear to be the case. But I haven't seen or heard one. Do you have this model? If yes, pm me or I can start a thread in the Gear forum.
