Honda is well known.. to follow and advance design...

rarely do they step into a new area without others to follow and then make design changes to try to top of field...

cars, motorcycles, boat engines, lawn equipment, now jet aircraft.

many case in point.. Civic, Goldwing,
water cooled portable generator using a lawn tractor engine.

I wonder what took them so long to come out with this bigger gen set

"... and at only 61-69 decibels they are also pretty quiet."

"Pretty quiet?" :h Yeah, right ... WAY too loud for use in any campground. :R

Actually no they still meet NPS/NFS standards

With your user name I would expect you to know that.

Maybe true, but do you know how much louder two are then one?

I do, but then I worked in noise & sound for years

At only 67 lbs. these new units are ultra portable and at only 61-69 decibels they are also pretty quiet."

Just don't park next to me with one of those

Interesting. I was hoping they would come out with a gen about that size but those are both quite a bit louder than my little eu2000 and more thirsty too.
I wonder if they incorporated the EFI they were working on.
Given what I read, The newest Yamaha 2800 seems like a better fit for camping.
