HMM, that does seem weird. Anyway that is low revving motor for a 4 cycle

I did notice that as well. They claim that it is for the harder working, commercial application and they sacrifice some top end for lower-end torque.

I think with the weight of the SV2100, that might be something I might be interested in, to get some extra push, as I never get to WOT anyway, especially if the wife is on board.

Is my thinking correct on this?
