Some of the guys here have used Suzuki 140s and love 'em...specially the fuel-sipping part...not to mention they are as reliable as can be ...I'd go w/one inna heartbeat, but my next move will be to a little more power and less weight...200 etech if I ever do it again...if Slinger's ever turns up missing, he'll know where to come lookin'!!...
