I had some fun looking at Honda Japan and saw the specifications for HS970i.  It uses GX340 instead of GX270 (HS928, HS970).  The HS970i is a heavy and strong machine and every bit as beautiful as the BLUE machine.  I am just wondering if Honda uses 340CC for that model, why is YS928 only using 250CC engine?  100CC is a huge difference.  Too me, Yamaha YS928 may be underpowered.

Not a bit.. I purchased a Yamaha 9/28 in Feb 2011 after using my nieghbor's Honda 9/28. After testing both I decided to go with th eYamaha...The Yamaha throws farther, weighs more and handles better than the honda 9/28. Both are great machines but i think the Yamaha is superior.
