In a previous thread, the OP stated that there was need to power a 2HP motor. I think the power use has to be more clearly defined before reaching a conclusion on which generator to buy. A Honda EX650, although a mighty little machine, is probably not going to deliver the required output once everything is tallied.
Naio, I think you have to have a bigger "drawing board" when trying to implement the charging requirements for your use. Mounting considerations, personal physical limitations, operating as a business, and total power needed are ALL going to come into play. Rather than relying on Forum anecdotal information, I'd suggest to design around the whole picture of what you're trying to accomplish. It may be that you have multiples of small generators and there may be battery bank/switching issues. Permanent mounting and sound-proofing is not trivial, either.
