As I posted earlier most db rating are at X number of feet from the source. I think the Honda's are rated like at 25 feet, the Champion rating might be at say 50 feet.

Honda 2000 - 57db

How can the Honda be quieter with a higher db rating?
I own a pair of Honda 2000s. My sister owns a pair of Champions. The Champions are great but no contest, the Hondas are quieter. Quieter at idle, quieter at mid load, quieter at full load. Quieter by far and noticeable. My Hondas are 15 years old and have around 500 hours on them. Anyone that says they are close in volume to the Champions is lying or deaf (in my opinion.) Again nothing against the Champions because they seem to be very reliable and good bang for the buck, but they are not quieter or even as quiet or even close to the Hondas.

105 is without fuel and oil. My Yamaha is about 155 lbs. I built a box where the lid and side double as a ramp.

You asked for input, rejected all the input, just go buy the Honda.
What he wants will be too heavy no matter what color it's painted.
That’s an interesting comment - I would say it’s a matter of perspective.
I have a 4500W+ generator, it’s not to heavy for me, may be for you, that’s where perspective comes in. Each of us have our own perspective.
