Suzuki 2.5 hp four stroke; any good?

[steve66]

I haven't seen a new one yet so can't comment. I do know the us spec engines have a new shaped cowl but I would be surprised if anything has changed radically

So, perhaps, i would be better off buying the very new Honda 2.3, (just come out) they had enough time to improve it by now.

I replaced my old Suzuki 2.2 2/stroke with the 2.5 4/stroke. At first I was worried about the extra bulk and weight, but in the event, I soon came to appreciate the extra poke and the smoother running and economy. It is an easy shape to hold and manhandle and I prefer the gear lever to the Honda's clutch. Note that the lying-down position is handle-down

I know this post is 9 years old. But I have a dt2 Suzuki and I'm thinking of getting a 2.5 four stroke. I am told it won't have the same poke as the dt2 ??
