Personally, I would wait to see if they increase HP options. I'm able to "get by" with my 47 HP, but I wish I had closer to 60. But that may not apply to you, in which case, the Shibaura 46 HP is a good engine

But it's also a motor they will have only used for one year so serivice and parts comes into the equation. And a 4 hr regen cycle seems excessive to me.
After reading all this I'm still not sure whether to buy now or wait. What does everyone else think?
I have the XR4040 and if it wasn't for the dash lights I don't think I would even know it was doing the regen cycle. No big deal in my opinion. Shibaura engines have been in the marketplace for quite a while and have proven reliable. For $2000 I would go with the Shibaura engine with no worries.
