Little over 2.5hp and after all it is a kawasaki should be a great mb motor. I think they're still making them too unlike the subaru and tanaka.

I think my niche is these 76mm clutch small engines I liked my subaru and seems like a good platform. I of course started with a CG and a white huffy about 2016 but found I liked 4 strokes or atleast japanese made 2 strokes better overall. It's just a pain to bring a premix bottle with you but with a 4 stroke you can go to the gas pump and be good. A bigger tank is also a good idea if you take long rides.

There's no better or worse, just personal choices. Me, it's a hobby. I like 4 strokes, gas n go. I plan my trips by what fuel stations are nearby. 100 mile rides are easy, some less. FD's I like, reliable and easy to fix. Fair weather ride fo shoo, water is not your friend for tire roller slippage. Just my choice, no right or wrong. I enjoy putting a bike together, maintaining it. Not fixing it. If you spend more time working on it, then riding there's a problem. Always adjusting the brake pads, tire air, checking bolts, steerings tight etc. That's the safety part and I enjoy that.
