Default Honda Factory Turbo

I love my factory turbo from Honda



But it's for my Honda R-12x ... Actually, I haven't even had to chance to ride it yet (still kinda cool outside, hopefully I'll get to break her in this weekend).

Engine Spcecs
Engine Type 1235cc liquid-cooled dry-sump inline four-cylinder with intercooled turbocharger
Engine HP 165HP
Bore and Stroke 79.0mm x 63.0mm
Compression Ratio 8.5:1
Valve Train DOHC; four valves per cylinder
Carburetion PGM-FI with automatic enricher circuit
Ignition Computer-controlled digital with three-dimensional mapping





A few months back Honda still had 2005 models left over in their warehouses, so I was able to put in an order and got a SICK deal.

Have you taken rides on the newer Seadoos? I have never riden a Honda but am definitely in love with the Seadoos. Not to mention their Supercharged models now exceed 200 hp.

Do you mind sharing what kind of deal you got, compared to MSRP on a new one?

Honda's biggest one weighs 966 lbs (F-15X GScape). The smaller models (R-12X, in this case) weighs 746 lbs.
