Id love to see the weights of the 4 strokes come down to that of the lightweight DFIs such as the Optimaxes. Adding turbocharger to add that much anticipated burst would be nice, given that the weight could be contained. Honestly, when I read all the hype about the Verado, I was eager. Then I found out that they weigh a ton and are not good on fuel. They have a long way to go.The new 250SS Suzuki is a step in the right direction, but still way too heavy.Most importanly of all, I want to see the prices become reasonable like the EFIs and the CARBs were. It seems that the green engines raised the prices so high compared to carbs and we will never be able to recover.Thanks,Dan Dan, That new 250 SS Suzuki is only about 50 pounds more than a 250 Opti. We think the weight is fine, and the performance is fine too from our perspecdtive.BCB
