No. They are both good engines.

Agreed- you can't go wrong with either one. Let price dictate or your preference in dealer dictate your decision....

Re: honda vs suzuki

i prefer the honda when you have to adjust valves
both will need this a few times in their life and it is a lot easyer and faster to do the honda valve adjustments

Re: honda vs suzuki

You might get more specific answers if you recognise that there is not "a" Honda or "a" Suzi 4 stroke.

There are at least a dozen of each. In some models one is lighter than the other, in other models one is EFI and the other may be carbed.

If either of those differences matter to you you need to tell us what models you are comparing.

And that's precisely why I went with the Honda BF150 last year at this time. Plus, the dealer was extremely competitive on the pricing versus the Suzuki.

Re: honda vs suzuki

Some Honda dealers are ok, the one here locally is ok, but not that good on price as he won't haggle at all. I ended up going 45 miles from home to oreder my new Honda 225. I kept calling the Suzuki guy and never got any return calls. I have a friend who sales Suzuki, but he is knocking on the door w/cancer at the present (in the hospital) and he is a one man shop. So I went w/ Honda.
I hade priced out the Mercury Opitmax in the 225 HP ( from 2 different dealers) and got the Honda for the same money.

Re: honda vs suzuki

Both are great engines.At this point it all boils down to customer support. You need to ask the dealer you are making this investment with if they have all the equipment and trained personnel to support it if something does fail.You do not, I'm sure ,want your baby sitting in the shop waiting for the [TECH TO HEAR BACK FROM TECHLINE].,,

I am considering purchase of a Lund WC-16 with Honda power(BF 25). How
often would the valves need adjusting on this motor? Any idea?
