OK Dejay? Suzuki 2CLY DT50/60 VS 3CLY DT55/65 motors

[sturdavj]

I have two motors a dt50 & dt60, both of these motors are two cylinder motors, As I understand they are built pretty much using the same engine block.

From what I have read the dt55 & the dt65 are three cylinder motors built pretty much using the same engine block.

Why not DT50 & DT55 using 2 cly and DT60 & DT65 using 3 cly motors

What are the advantages?, if any to this logic ?

I am not looking for Suzuki bashing, but I am curious as to the plus & minuses of both configuration

Very interesting actually .... you will see that Suzuki built the 2 cyl 50hp and 60hp motors only up until 1984 and the 3 cyl 55hp and 65hp was built from 1985 onwards so obviously there was an upgrade .... better performance, more power .... heaver on fuel though ...
