    I can't be the only one that thinks these new four strokes are butt ugly. I'm sure they are great motors, just don't want to be caught dating one.

    Lol, that’s funny. Seriously though the look grows on you after looking at it everyday, and even if it doesn’t you’ll forget all about it when you turn the key. I still get a little chubby every time I fire mine off.

    She is kinda like that chunky girl in high school that nobody wanted to date... But when you got her off by yourself she was one heck of a time and the best you ever had. Then eventually you didnt care anymore and took her around your friends and then they became jealous and wanted her too. And they are right, when I fire mine up at the ramp in the mornings everybody turns there heads to see what that growling is.

    They are kinda like fat girls and mopeds. Fun to ride but you dont want your friends to see you on them.

    IMO they’re not nearly as ugly as the E-TEC G2. As a matter of fact the more I look at it the more I do like the look of it. We as Americans just don’t like change. It’s just in us.

    If you’re referring to me bringing up another manufacturer than Mercury here, my bad. Glad to see you back Don! I talked to Ronda and looking forward to speaking with you when the chance arises on my install.
